Argh my brain... the stupid it hurts

How on earth to people stand the inane drivel and rampant editorializing that passes for news, local or national, on American TV?

BBC America...

Or better yet ignore the TV media completely which is my strategy.

BTW, this is happening and the news won't touch it.

Yeah was reading about that a little on Boing Boing, hadn't heard word one via the Corporate Media, which surprises me not even a little.

Having little to watch but this drivel all summer, I heartily agree. So I offer the CBC as another option.

And if you can tell me why the History Channel has no obvious connection to history anymore, I would greatly appreciate it.

You mean the Alien Conspiracy Channel?

Beats me.

And wasn't TLC once actually a "Learning Channel"?

I really don't think it's a discussion that's worth having in this context but all of this really begs the question: Who's responsibility is it? The TV people for feeding us this ... stuff. Or ours for not demanding better?

Alas, I no longer am so lucky to live close enough to the border that this is an option for me. I miss the CBC a lot, both TV and radio.
