    News my ass. Nobody reports the news anymore. They report the “story”, because we’re all too retarded to take in raw facts, digest them, and come to our own conclusions.

    And what’s with all the “human interest” shit? “News” is almost always about the doings of humans anyway, why do I need to here some oh so sad sob story? Maybe my heartstrings are just broken from constant tugging. Its like the last time I bothered to watch the Olympics. I want to know who won and who lost, not here some sob story about how little “Timmy” fought adversity in Africa to compete. Did Timmy win? Did his country win?

    Its all farcical anyway. Even when they do report facts, they can scew it any way they want. Lets take any of the numerous battles between Israel and Palestine. Shots fired, depending on which side the news company is “pro” on, video of the other side shooting, then an imaged of a dead little girl. Do we know who shot her? Was she even killed in this battle? And all the newsies have to say was a battle took place and you’ll just assume that whoever they actually show shooting killed little Suzie.

    Liberal, conservative, democrat, republican, they all play the same games with the news. The news service used to inform people and that was it, but they’ve all bowed down before the ratings god.

    Wow. That’s the greatest video ever. My new favorite line is, “walking towards the camera like I’m in the f**king Matrix”. That dude is my new hero. That’s some funny shit.

    Wow… From here on out I’m going to be thinking this as a parody for every news broadcast from here on out. Take that and supimpose the “Family Guy” Tom Tucker over the news anchor and you might actually have something worth watching.
