A slow news day...

[Tecumseh]

I have always believed that Fox caters to the lowest common denominator.

[Manedwolf]

Um. You know it's a spoof, right?

[Tecumseh]

I know.  But either way I would not be surprised to see it on the news nowadays.

This is a real slow news day story...

Like all the other TV news outlets?

  Not so much as Fox.  Fox is the worst of the worst in my opinion.  CNN follows them. 

Sadly I think that Comedy Central has the two last honest news shows in the USA.  That is if you are willing to call "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" news. 

I trust BBC more an Al Jazeera more than the US channels for my news.

Ah... A belief system, and "faith."
 
You BELIEVE the people who tell you what you want to hear.

I'm happy to say I wouldn't know.  (No TV reception at my house, and I'm too smart to pay for TV.)

I think you're thinking of NPR.  Troll. 

[Perd Hapley]

NPR?  Really?  I guess that's why the masses are so addicted to them, huh? 

[Manedwolf]

If NPR had any more of a slant, it'd only play from the left audio channel.

I agree.  But their slow-and-steady, calm and collected delivery is definitely not tailored for the lowcommdenom.

I think you're thinking of NPR.  Troll. 

I think you have 'Troll' confused with 'catch all phrase for any person I disagree with or dislike who is posting on MY forum, how dare anyone with different views from me use the internet.'

I don't know, I think those 30-second interludes of the World's Most Dissonant Folk-Music-Like Noise Probably From White Guys With Dreadlocks is meant to stupefy the listeners, so the leftist drivel will make sense.

Disagreement is one thing.  But to constantly belittle the views of well established posters with snide remarks, sniping, and trolling with the hopes of starting a pissing match means TROLL.

[Bogie]

Yup. It's long since gotten old.

I'm still sick, exponentially grouchier, and I'm slowly coming to realize that it's all Bush's fault...

I'd be glad to see stuff like this.
1.  Nothing bad is happening, obviously.
2.  Do I need anymore reasons?
Oh yea.
3.  No more celebrity crap.  Cats are way more interesting.

[Bogie]

How about pictures of Britney Spears in her house with her 35 cats...

Depends.  Is she... oh... family forum.  Never mind.

And you can be described in one of two ways.

A)  A well-meaning person, new to the forum, who hasn't seen all of Tecumseh's very trollish behavior.

B)  A proxy or alter ego for Tecumseh.

Or perhaps you have seen all of Tecumseh's posts, and you find yourself agreeing with him.  In that case, you have my sympathy.

Locked. And to the account that sent four "report this post" messages within minutes of each other, my patience is at an end.
