I've always been one to try and keep up on current events, ever since I was like 10. It always pisses me off when you talk to someone who has no idea of what's going on in the world and they seem fine with that. But now watching any type of news is such a bitchfest. Just yesterday I was watching a bunch of guys bashing John Kerry and questioning his service. Then, while flipping through channels, I stumbled upon the 700 Club (who apparently consider themselves a news source now which is a painful joke) where the same guys were making a different report but for the same reasons. This is just an example of the latest bullshit I've seen, but it's pretty typical. I mean really, is it that big of a deal? Hell, at least Kerry was actually IN Vietnam...not bailing out of a branch of the armed forces designed to protect Lubbock, TX from a VC invasion. Seriously...if we're gonna pick on stuff how about we make it real issues. And forget about cable news stations...everybody's biased and apparently proud of it. Why can't news stick to news and not opinions? Shouldn't there be a standard of validity before a station is allowed to call themselves news?
