Fuck You, I'm Gonna Watch Johnny Quest

Every night, I sit down to do homework, and I wind up turning on the tube. After about 20 minutes of flipping channels, I wind up just sickened to the point where I wind up on a channel like Boomerang. Cartoons. Shit I haven't watched since I was 10, and hoped I'd never have to deal with again.

I wanted to watch CNN, but between Wolf Blitzer having the mass appeal of a turnip, Larry King remaining blissfully out of touch with my generation, Dr Sanjay Gupta having a "Sears & Roebuck" doctorate and the medical knowledge of a retarded chimpanzee, and James Carville just scaring the everliving shit out of me with his face, I don't dare risk it. The nightmares would never end.

Of course, Fox news is no better. 3 words: Hannity and Colmes. If you don't find those massochistic enough, I present Geraldo Rivera and Bill O'Reilly. "No-Spin Zone", my ass. More like the "Off-Kilter Zone."

I'd watch MSNBC, but lets face it, they're a buncha pussies. Hell, NBC itself isn't much better. Between Chris Hansen and his constant pedophile hunt (which makes me wonder, being that there's always been pedos, but all of a sudden they're the big thing?) and Matt Lauer, who's only claim to fame is being attractive, I nearly want to just shoot my TV. Ok, they do have Tom Brokaw, but he's just a special correspondent, now. Sadly, he doesn't carry the network like he used to.

Now, CBS. Home of some of the best anchors ever. Cronkite, Murrow, Rather. Where's the hard-hitting journalism? Where's the edge of the seat Edward R. Murrow-esque reporting? Long gone, sadly. Though they save a little face, and that face is Bob Woodruff. I admit it, I'm biased, myself, in favor of CBS. But even they're known to be a bit leftist.

So what is a guy like me to do? I'm neither liberal nor conservative, not fully left nor right. Neither fully Democrat nor fully Republican. Where can I get unbiased media coverage on the TV?

Ah, fuck you, I'm gonna watch Johnny Quest.

There are no decent news stations these days. Every one of them claims to be unbiased but they all lean one way or another...in Fox's case they don't lean, they fucking fell to the right.
