The fact of the matter is we don't have enough news to fill the demands of 24-hour news channels, and so they must invent news. It's not some Obama-loving conspiracy, as Russ would have us believe, it's just that frankly, what else are they supposed to cover?
Wow, that is hilarious! :laughing:Quote:

Btw, consumption is tuberculosis, not cancer.
Huh... Well the person that told me that was way off then. I just thought it was odd. Come to find out, it was just wrong. Thanks for the correction. I guess it's still kind of odd to have a wierd name for it though.
He once got a shoe thrown at him... And he also once choked on a pretzel... Yup, those were about it for positives. Actually I think it's just that he was just too easy to make him look like an idiot. Sorry to any of his supporters, but the guy kept doing a lot of it to himself. He once referred to hispanic people as "Hispanos", the terrorists once "misunderestimated" us, he kept saying "nucUlar" even after his wife pointed it out to him on public TV, and the list goes on and on. Yes I'm sure the media has a lot to do with it oin what the look to report. Currently Obama is supposed to be the savior of the US because... I don't know really. If something actually gets an actual fix, rather than supposed to have worked, I'd be interested in that. Until then... What do you get on your cheeseburger?Quote:

Off topic, as the topic may be:
Continuity fail:
I just watched an article on the news about the Cyclone Rollercoaster at Coney Island, the world famous old amusement park of the 1930s located near Brooklyn, NY. The news team filled all of the ride's cars with guests, and sent them off to do an interview on it while the ride was in motion, viewing the scene from the nose of the first car facing the rest of the cars.
Midway through the interview, everyone except the people in the first car suddenly disappeared. We were all left thinking, "Wow, that is one strong rollercoaster."
They all conveniently reappeared when the car reentered the track station.
