Why I Never Watch The News

  1. The state of the world is so depressing... Stereo kicks was booted off xfactor (one of them was apparently crying) and David Beckham was in a car crash with one of his sons.. Donatello or Raphael not sure... no one hurt....
     
  2. WTF !! which news station do you watch !!
     
  3. dont know bb3 i think... it was after family guy.. dont watch much tv. but its interesting what cuts it for breaking news these days!

  4. well I guess family guy , x factor and becky are all part of the same niche market .
     
  5. is that not a kids channel,, all part of the dumbing down process !!
     
  6. lol maybe.. as i said i dont really watch tv:) i do know that in most countries when there is a lil news snippet between progs its normally important stuff.. not here tho! guess its kinda nice not to have ya evening upset by doom an gloom although i was a lil upset with the xhamster result
     
  7. shit... i ment xfactor
     
  8. Since there are plenty of rolling 24 hour news TV channels for anyone who wants to watch real news, not to mention news websites, the snippets between programmes on entertainment channels are obviously aimed at viewers who are not seeking out real news.

  9. Here is a good one

    Guy Fawkes' blog of parliamentary plots, rumours and conspiracy

    Guido Fawkes aka Paul Staines, libertarian rather than left or right, he holds all political parties in equal disdain. He will also, like Private Eye, break stories long before the mainstream news gets them. Which begs the question "what is mainstream news these days ?".
