It was a cable news channel with a Fox News format. Guess what the leading story was?. wait.. Jon & Kate +8 get a divorce! Over and over the headline flashed and the man and woman discussed the ramifications of the divorce on the 8 kids as though this were the most burning issue of the day. I waited for 15 minutes and it played over and over. I am actually using my tv as a computer screen as I relax n the couch with the wireless. I live with a geek so every room has a computer and the only shows I watch are on the internet, like Hulu. I stopped watching tv after my son was born. He saw a wierd commercial as an infant and it was not anything I could ever explain to him. I knew that even a glimpse was dangerous to his pure mind.

They seem to have swung from hard left towards a more central right position. I'm suspicious of all media now!

It isn't the TV that is wrong it is people choices of what they watch and how they want to be informed. Sure there is a lot of corporate crap on telly that trap people who don't want to think or know what the true story is on a magnitude of issues, but there are shows like the above that can and do inform people better than any internet site, newspaper or even radio. True Hard hitting Investigative journalism lives in these show and all are free to air. For those who don't have a telly, this is the good side you are missing out on.

It's only when I realize that millions of Americans watch it and believe it that I get concerned. Murdoch should be jailed for what he is doing to the minds of people across the world! John, Obama is a great orator too. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Margit, I enjoy the comedy on Faux News too.

The Tibetan word for television translates literally as "illusion projector". It's easy to blame the intellectual deficiencies, laziness, or moral laxity of viewers for problems that seem attributable to "excessive television". Thanks for presenting a possible physiological explanation. My household is on forced tv deprivation due to some remodeling. The day seems to last longer, and we're enjoying listening to baseball on the radio. The problem with tv begins as the line between reality and fantasy blurs.

I don’t know all of these names but have watched Bill O’Reilly , and that’s plenty/ample enough for me.

I still watch but never at home. When Nethanayu pronounced "We are all Israelis" right after 9-11, it got very obvious "cui bono". Who profits from the continuous propaganda? Certainly not empoverished muslims.... It's really amusing to detect the culprits on TV. Thomas Friedman who lives in a palatial home according to Wikipedia (not the best source) used to spew his NY Slimes nonsense all over TV but lately one does not hear too much from him anymore. Guess he got too obvious! But Krauthammer and other misfits still spew their hatred on Fox which can only be viewed with a great sense of humor. These shills make me laugh at this point as they are so pathetic. Their philosophy tanked. Ben Stein, Geraldo, and Thomas Friedman's wife lost a lot of money (commercial real estate). My favorite shows are business shows where I get the most entertainment. Hilarious when the Fox guests smile and smile while they get threatened by Cavuto with a job loss, jokingly, haha (yesterday's show about British Airways offering their employees to work for nothing). Fox beats Comedy Central! It's not depressing, it's funny to watch O'Reilly, Geraldo, and special clown, Glen Beck. Usually one zionist interviews another zionist in a love fest. Hilarious! But feel bad for the shmucks who fall victim to the propaganda. Long live the bloggers! Won’t waste a penny for the propaganda box. I still watch but never at home.

The problem is, if you want to keep up with world events, it requires some watching of television. But then the Iran 'revolution' demonstrates clearly that we are not getting unbiased reporting as does the Palestinian issue. David, thanks for alerting us to that flickering information. It is a worry! Coco, your thirty year stand shows you're a woman ahead of her time. I guess I've been rather a sucker for movies and television although I'm in rehab now! Therese, thanks for your good wishes. I send them back to you with interest! John, I admire your perseverance with the English language.
