anyone else sick and tired of the media's coverage of the "holy father" and his impending death?
The news channels ( CNN, Fox, you name it) have been filling in the "coverage" with a bunch of lame BS for the past 12 hours. They just can't be left out on this "event"
Funny to me.

Patriarch Bartholomew I is ill? I had no idea...

The press alone outnumbered the Schiavo protesters by at least three to one. None of the cameras stepped back and shot the entire gamely throng for fear of exposing the urgent "national discourse" for what it was.
Deja-vu of an Iraq statue toppling.
The Pope, on the other hand, has tremendous box office drawing power. Has had it for a good run. And probably more deservingly so than some vegetable in Florida. Yet, you squeek about that.

what you mean by lame BS?

How much coverage did we get of Princess Di? She was nothing more than somebody's ex-wife. I think the Pope has earned his airtime with the jackals. On a scale of 1 to 10, he scores a 8.5 on the Papalcymeter. Not to mention he was the leader of over 2 Billion people.

Tweety, who said anything anti catholic?

i ask you about "lame BS", what you mean by that?
-
Media coverage is lame BS. They have had zero word of the pope's condition for at least 13 hours, yet they ramble on with 24/7 coverage about nothing.

It's not like Brad Pitt is dying or anything.

About "nothing", the impending death of the leader of the Catholic church for 26 years. But you are safe! You didn't say "moron"
Everyone knows he is dying. The news coverage is not reporting anything we don't already know. The news is just staying on the subject and regurgitating the same crap for about 13 hours.
It's not like John Lennon is dying afterall.

Well Nuke, I guess what I was trying to say was that the Pope's death, however boring it is to me, is far and away much more newsworthy than any of a multitude of things that gets planted on our radar here.
Usually, what happens is.... Somebody will pick some little graf from some BS little story from the Kansas City Watchtowerwhatever.
Folks here read the snippet, then proceed to go bat****.
Then, a few days later, the rest of the story comes out, and the thread quietly goes away.
I aint much of a fan of these kinds of threads.... But if we can pay Schiavo our dues, we can sure as hell pay JP his.
You are dissin' the press for their coverage of it. Which is fine. But nevermind the multitudes upon kajillions of people who actually care about this story... You want to ignore the press' overhyping of almost everything else and choose to nail them to the proverbial cross over this one?

not quite the stuff of an english poet, but close.

Btw.
Shave 20 points off of your IQ score if you think you're a genius. Then...
Shave an additional 40 points off for actually saying that you're a genius.
I don't make the rules.

Hey, If you have the smarts, why not say so? :)

Geniuses are more preocupied with what they don't know than telling everyone what they think they do know.

I'll even go out of my way and say that I'm creative, artistic, intelligent and logical.

i dreamt of this once...the last baby seal.

Am I spelling genius right?
Don't look right to me.

But he's right, Nash.
Other people get (rightly) hammered for trolling; but Nuke et al consistantly get away with it, and it's obvious.

DOH!!! I didn`t get the memo.
-
Yeah Seeker, 'tis true.
But there's a weird thing about Nuke...
He'll just go....."blaahhhhhrgh"
Full frontal troll.
Yet, over time, ya sense that it's grounded in some sort of encompassing conviction. What that is, escapes me.
In fact, I think it escapes even him. His trolls are less for our reading enjoyment and more for his own... research & development.
It's troll-like...for sure... only because Nuke is troll-like.
And until Martlet gets jailed, I think Nuke is teetering on the edge but within the law.

Good God yes I am tired of it. The press overdoes everything, just as they did the Scott/Laci Peterson thing, and the Terry Schiavo affair.
This morning ABC was running a big banner "Breaking News The Pope Near death". Well no shxt! It is hardly "breaking news".
Someone should have the brains and guts to revamp major news coverage.

I`ve discovered some amazing things.
The first was that I can hit a certain button on my TV remote and instantly be moved to another channel. By experimenting with this I have found that I can go to non-news channels. Amazing! What will they think of next?
I was so excitied by this that I went to my stereo, turned it to FM radio and found that I could go to all music, non-news stations there also.
Thinking that I just might be on to something with this new found knowledge, I then went to my PC for further experimentation. Eureka!!!! I uncovered the secret to non-newsdom on the PC also. By manipulating a small device, known in tech terms as a "mouse", I could throw caution to the wind and go to non-news websites and forums.
I was thinking of writing an e-book about these discoveries to share the knowledge and possibly generate some cash from these break throughs.
Then I came here. What did I find? A multitude of threads and complaining posts within, lamenting and sniveling over the content of the news.
Well, back to the laboratory. :rofl

Ah jackal, the master of the obvious.
I guess we aren't entitled to an opinion without risking his pathetic attempt at sarcastic humor.
Yes jackazz, i mean jackal, you can change the channel, I am glad you discovered that, but with your failing to recognize this fact, let me point out that there are some people who do like to watch news shows to see what is happening in the country and the world, and do not care to see non-stop continuing obsession with just one story.

Chill out junior.
It was humor.
If ya wanna watch the crap, then don`t whine about it.
Carry on. That is all.
