Well the talking head know it alls on the news are at it again! With the bridge collapse across the Mississippi River; it wasn’t 5 minutes into this morning news when they started talking about blame!! Blame the builders, blame the engineers, blame someone… Katy blabbermouth worthless Brich on CBS national, ask the guy from the corp of engineers I think it was who was at fault and who had inspected it when. He very calmly replied that as of now there was no blame to be placed. That the bridge had been inspected, repairs had been done and on and on.

She refused to listen to his answer and later said something alone the line that faulty construction was likely the blame and that the bridge should have been shut down and rebuilt long ago. Saw similar things from the other national coverage as well, including Diane Sawyer. What a crock!! And the big problem is that the majority of the viewing public believe the news people!! No... No...

Folks, keep in mind, those talking heads just read a script and often times not very well at that. They don’t do research, they may have a college education in broadcasting or stage, but are NOTHING more than script readers. We have a talking head here who not only can’t do traffic reports cause she won’t look at a map and therefore doesn’t have a clue about what highway she is talking about. At noon she is reading news and does not pronounce names correctly,, just mumbles over them and grins her stupid grin.. I would like to throttle her and shove a dictionary down her throat. Grrrrr. When a person on TV moves to a new part of the country, like from LA to Fort Worth, they should be required to take a basic pronunciation class with a private tutor, just to learn how to pronounce town names!

We have one local weather guy that is great on the other hand. He came from Lexington, Kentucky. From there he moved on to Tyler, Texas; Tampa, Florida and Kansas City before landing in Dallas. At first he had a few issues, but now is the best on the air! Of course he was passed over for top weather man when the old man retired,, don’t know why.

Thanks to Fox News, I can watch the news without throwing my boot thru the tv. The Liberal news can't go 5 min. w/o hate speech or blame. Nuff said. This isn't the place for politics anyway. Gahorn, you'd fit right in at the politics board. Later.

Faux News is another one, but those who blame the "liberal" media won't apply the same rules to Faux and Bill O'really? Bush Limbo, Fat Robertson, etc.

I quit watching TV evangelists for the same reason. I get religion and truth in person.

I completely banned CBS national news from my home after Dan Blather fabricated that story a few years back. I have no problem with them reporting any story but when documents need to be forged to support a pre-determined "truth", I draw the line. But in these litigous days, people like to find out "who's to blame" as soon as possible.

Often times, it seems that "first" is far more important than "correct". And like you, I'm tired of it, so I generally don't watch much more than the local news. And I'm picky about them, too.

Bingo!

For just such reasons, I stopped watching the Ministry of Propaganda decades ago.
