Ahh, but it does.
Which is why the last TV I watched was Sarah Palin's VP acceptance speech in 2008. At first it was difficult, but now I don't miss it at all and feel sorry for folks who think they must absolutely get their daily "fix" from the TV.
I guess maybe I'm a poster child for Curmudgeons, Inc. as I have no cell phone and avoid social networks like the plague.
The WB has taken to calling their 9 pm (CDT) evening news show, Newsfix. And it isn't news -- it's infotitillation, w/ production values like TMZ and ET.
