Thought some people would find that article interesting.   

Still don't understand how they can call that tv channel a news channel.

It is the whole new paradigm: news is entertainment as is everything else on TV.

that's just it though, I haven't found anything on television entertaining in years, save the dvds I watch.

Oh c'mon Boston Legal is a hoot! At least the first couple seasons were, now I am at work when anything is on.

All you need to do is shut down your brain so that no more than five or six neurons are firing at any given time and let the programming wash your brain until everything else loses its importance.

There is always the History Channel for people who wish to learn something.

You mean learn that over the years history changes as the winners gloss over what they had to do to beat the losers? or that the real story never comes out? Perhaps you are talking about all the documentaries about Cowboys and Indians.... and mysteries of the pyramids.

The good stuff is all but drowned out by the dross.
