The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 02, 2013

What do you mean “before long” they already are! Even the commercials are about their news programs!!

There are no more bona fide news channels on TV. The are all pushing some agenda, or show nothing but “infotainment” garbage. I long for the days of Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkhite, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.

See today’s strip “Strange Brew.”

Don’t forget the stories they tell late Monday mornings that occurred the previous Friday AM (in case anyone was away for the wknd.) !!!

Stay tuned to see in 5 minutes what we will say stayed tuned for in 10 minutes.

They make news if they don’t have any. They’ll rile up people about nothing so they can cover the story of their anger.

Except for 1 hour in the AM for The Price is Right.

I long for the days too when CNN Headline News WAS CNN Headline News! (1982-2005) Not just “HLN” (Headline News) now. Thank goodness for podcasting!

About the only reason I watch the local network television station is for the local weather and news. Otherwise it is either one of the satellite networks or radio.

join the crowd

There’s a network where I live that does this.

It’s like that now. Problem is local stations are connected to cable, which sucks to high heaven. Everything else in between is either “reality” shows or just garbage. I miss Mr. Cronkhite, too.

Don’t you hate it when you are watching a “news” broadcast and they go to a commercial advertising the exact program that you are watching? Then, they advertise bottom cream or something and run the same ad for the news program you are watching, again. So, we get 10 minutes of “news” and 20 minutes of ads?

All the news, all the same, all the time.

NOTICE: You WILL watch all the major network “news” programs by order of His Excellency, The NSA is watching YOU.

How very prophetic this strip became.
