As The World Spirals Down The Poopshute!!!

Tonights news cast has to be the worst I have seen in awhile!

1. Man beats an old man hitting him 21 times in the head.....AS A HALF DOZEN COWARDLY BASTARDS STAND THERE WATCHING WITHOUT HELPING STOP IT!!!!!

2. 20 year old "DINGBAT" woman hits 3 people with her car and......just leaves!!!!

3. Man robs a Carver garage while he has his 11, 10 and 6 year old sons with him........he them blames them for the theft! (Really good Dad!)

It gets worse by the day......I can't watch the news anymore!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

The 1st 2 stories were tragic.

The 3rd was almost comical, he claimed he was fishing with the 6 year old and the 10 and 11 year olds robbed the barn. Only problem was he didnt have any fishing gear and the cahin on the door was cut with link cutters. Must have been strong boys.

The weather is more often wrong than right.

Larry, i don't watch TV news anymore, just a buncha sensational baloney to get viewers and ratings.
Nothing you can do about that stuff anyway.

I believe there are alot more good things happening in this country than bad ,that aren't reported, because the networks believe the "Jerry Springer" mentality works best.

Thats exactly right !!!
I've been pissed for a few months since Channel 7 (CW) took over the 10:00 news on channel 56 (Used to be called WLVI, then the WB, then CW when channel 7 bought them.
I liked watching the 10:00 news on 56, the anchors were a bit older and were enjoyable to watch.
Now it's the same anchors who do the 11:00 channel 7 news,
fast pace, gossip magazine type stories, sensational baloney like you pointed out !!! It sucks !!!

1. The other sob's were with the perp doing the beating.

2.20 year old "DINGBAT" was probably drunk and will only go down for leaving the scene p.i.

3. And the a#&h*$^ gives an interview after the fact.

I hate all network news, it is all sensationalist bullchit

NECN for those of you who have comcast, is not terrible. They have all the old anchors who have been let go over the years from the local networks like R.D. Saul and Chet Kurtis, who now have their own shows and do some poignant stuff sometimes.
