The ratings for the evening news programs for all three networks have hit record lows. I find that utterly fantastic. My blog is syphoning off many of their viewers, and I stopped watching the news about three months ago. Katie’s face is too distracting to watch, and the saying “what the hell is she doing there” keeps running through my head when I watch her. Charlie Gibson is unbearable after watching him with Sarah Palin. To me, he sounded a little gay in that interview, and since that, I can’t bear his ugly face. You wouldn’t see a woman that ugly anchor the evening news—talk about sexism. That all leads me to – I can never think of his name – James Bond? No, that’s not it. Oh yeah, Brian Williams. He's the news singer. He sings the news. And he acts as though he’s a gift to mankind. He, too, became unbearable. Once I started noticing the singing, I couldn’t listen anymore.
There are only about four stories on the news every night. And I can read them all in about thirty seconds. So why waste my time? I stopped, and I don’t miss it a bit. I rarely watch the local news. The best part of the local news is the weather. But why do we need to know all about the high pressure points, low pressure points, blah, blah, blah. Just give me the temps, wind, and whether it will rain. By the time they get through with the big explanation, I’ve forgotten what the weather is going to be. I can read in online in about ten seconds.
I love watching them sweat.

My mother stopped watching TV completely. She thinks the DTV box is too complicated. But she doesn't seem to missit. She doesn't like the current anchors anyway.
