I got that from them.  =)

Cable news is Mass Media, last I checked.

By the by, did you watch the 'burque news tonight?

In case you missed it, there is this nightly syndicated segment by...

Oh.  But why did you say Will said O'Rielly?

Is Beck a "news" program?  Why this fixation on the extraneous?

A dude who can't do fractions, basically.  Semi-funny.  =)

Did I claim that either of these bastions of liberal ideals were not
Mass Media, or if you prefer, MSM?

Once again I'm left wondering, what, is your point?

Besides the obvious, obviously.  You don't like 'em.  I get that.
Thanks for sharing!

Not too good.  :-)

Maybe you should slow down a bit.  Let it sink in, ya know?

As a pop-culture icon once said, "life moves pretty fast..."

Eh.  I think he's pretty witty, but this isn't about that.  Had you
been all like, "O'Reilly has toned it down too!", I'd be like,
"Woohoo!" for him too.

Their staple is "OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!" though, so...
not holding my breath.

I don't know.  I don't watch MSNBC very often.  You got me on PBS though.

30 million?  Are you sure about that?

Want me to wait while you go hit up the Nielsen site?  Maybe tvbythenumbers.com?

Or should I just pull some numbers out of my ass, too?  =)

My enemy is the perfect.  Which is why I think everything is perfect.
Perfectly imperfect.  D'oh!

It /is/ fun to bitch from time to time though.  LOL.  Time to time, he says.  =)
