The lameness of cable news

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005 at 2:23 pm | In Media |

I was watching MSNBC this morning as I was eating breakfast and they broadcasting the trial of a man accused of opening fire in a courtroom and killing several people. Oh, and one of the pieces of the evidence from the case is video of the man engaging in the crime.

Headline-worthy news, yes. But I really don’t need to know any more about the case than what he did and whether he was convicted. And, given that the guy was caught on video, I’m guessing he’ll be found guilty. Basically, a waste of my time.

What the networks should be doing is showing this video of John Bolton talking about his opinions of the UN. He’s going to have a tough job being an ambassador to an organization that doesn’t exist. He’s already said that the U.S. should just tell it what to do anyway.
