I did some media studies in the past few years, so I find every outlet as cringe-worthy as the rest of them.. So I tune in for mostly entertainment purposes, to watch/listen to paid pundits making endless arguments about issues that they hardly give us any insight about, and much of it is horseshit. The commercials on CNN and other networks are just as ridiculous as their programming. One moment they're selling you a drug with a paragraph-length disclosure of side effects, and another moment a lawyer asshole is inviting you to sue the same drug's manufacturer for potential compensation :lol:

The Beebs piss me off as well, their morning news jingle is beyond corny.

Hey! A lot of us on here are assholes, and we resent being associated with lawyers!

(I love those commercials though. They might as well say, "Hey! Have you been horribly - or perhaps fatall - injured by a prescription drug? If so, we are willing to refer you to a local lawyer who will quickly negotiate a low-ball settlement offer and skim up to 50% off the top! Call today!")
