When people talk about 9/11 you never hear "twenty o'one" but "two thousand one".. but alas, Charles Osgood, the olde who hosts CBS Sunday Morning, always announces the date by saying "Twenty o'nine" .. and for some reason, hearing him say it that way makes it sound like that format is strictly reserved for the oldes. For the rest of us, it's normally spoken as "two thousand nine", so therefore I can only presume we'll be saying "two thousand ten" #media
@iplaudius: I've kind of stopped trying to read too deeply into HamNo's posts. He gets about three paragraphs deep in snark and ceases to make sense. #media
@iplaudius: You're right, you're right. Besides, this is no way to go about getting my star back. Pretend I didn't say anything other than that thing I said earlier about Quinn Quinn the quinquagenarian. #media
@the_lerpa: I find it neither cute nor endearing when little kids speak like they are fresh out of the ghetto and everyone ooohhs and ahhhs. THIS is the future of television news. Sadly.
@TabithaIapetus: Well Professor Higgins, did it occur to you that he might speak like he's fresh out of "the ghetto" (do people really still call it that?) because... he is?
Just for laughs, ESPN The Magazine should offer a 50 percent discount off its annual subscription price of $1 if you pay only in nickels. I bet no one sends in ten.
Smart people watch MSNBC, and the idiots watch Fox News.
So who watches CNN? Why, of course, the mainstream majority that likes to hear the smart people and the idiots argue, which definitely takes longer than six minutes! What a great use of time.
@Niko Bellic: Have you watched either FOX or MSNBC? Plenty of arguing, although I'll give you that they generally do more soap boxing. Rachel Maddow was just having a long pointless argument with a yelling bigoted Pat Buchanan on her show.
CNN has actually reduced its use of panels, thankfully.
@Niko Bellic: DISAGREE - I watch CNN and BBCAmerica - it would be more accurate to say that liberals watch MSNBC and conservatives watch Fox News; I'm a liberal and can't stand to watch ANY opinion news, even if the opinion mirrors my own.
But for people who like to recognize their own ideas in a pleasing disguise, I can understand why opinion news would be satisfying.
