Okay I'm just going to clear up a few things for the self-righteous journalists and media icons.

When Scott Peterson whacks his wife and dumps her in the Ocean, I don't care! Neither do I care about what Kobe Bryant does in Colorado A missing basketball player doesn't concern me. All of these stories in no way affect me. Stop calling them news. I would rather hear an hour-long recital of all the congressional actions of the day, than listen to another "expert analysis" of what whoever's lawyer should/might do if somebody else's lawyer file a certain set of papers. I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FARK!

And another thing I've already harped on before (see here and here) but I really wish you would all stop passing off editorial pieces as news.

...And now to an issue near and dear to your heart, Free Speech. You see the first amendment, which you run up the flagpole every time you get it trouble, is pretty specific. It applies to the government (congress shall make no law...) not your employer, not your fans, not Entertainment Tonight, nobody but the government. So when you call the President a dirty SOB and all your fans get their radio stations to stop playing your songs, and thus stop paying you royalties, and when everybody avoids you like the plague, your free speech is not being restricted. You said what you said, nobody imprisoned you, reposed your home, or killed you. And for you whiny news commentators who complain about getting fired because of something you said. You see if all your viewers/listeners get pissed off because of what you said, and they call your network/station to say that they hate your guts, will never watch/listen again, and contemplating hunting you down to the ends of the earth to rid the human species of your wretched vileness, your boss not only has the right to fire you, he'd be declared legally retard should he not.

So there you go. Heed my advice and gain my viewership. Don't, and the contemplation begins.
