Rant on.

I have no television. I do have satellite radio and sometimes listen to the audio of Fox News on channel 114.

It’s often intolerable when they play some sort of “musical” sound effects at the same time they are reading a story. Don’t get me started on 3 or 4 people talking at once and the half witted ad libs and raucous laughter.

Fortunately, BBC is on 118 and there, at least, I can hear some actual news reporting that does not constantly insult my intelligence.

Rant off.

Don’t get me started on 3 or 4 people talking at once

The FoxNews programs used to be bad about they [and they may still be].

I watched Cavuto's afternoon program for a while. One day, he had 4 guests in windows on the screen. As the program continued, 2, then 3, then all 4 of the guests were talking/yelling over each other. That went on for 7 minutes. Cavuto never once stepped in.

That wasn't the first time Cavuto allowed guests to talk over each other without his intervening.

That was several years ago, and I have not listened to his program since. I don't want to waste my time listening to people talking/yelling over each other.
