In the "news"...

I have been avoiding news channels lately, but I just surfed past Erin Burnett's show on CNN with my remote control and watched them deviate from the EBOLA HYSTERIA MONTH script for ten minutes (at about 7:50pm on 10/27/14) to warn us that ISIS might be preparing to use captured American shoulder-fired missiles to shoot down aircraft (followed immediately by a commercial for Northrop Grumman weaponry).

It's the 10th Anniversary of Jon Stewart destroying Crossfire on October 15, 2004

Jon Stewart: How old are you?
Tucker Carlson : 35.
Jon Stewart: And you wear a bow tie.

Please watch the whole fifteen minutes.

I'm done watching the news for a little while...

Each HYSTERICAL EBOLA story should have this disclaimer: As an American you are more than 10,000 times more likely to be killed by a bullet.

Network News Sums Up Woodstock for the Nation on August 18, 1969

Here's Walter Cronkite and the CBS News team. Be sure to watch the John Laurence commentary after the commercials for Carnation Slender and Friskies dog food:


Here's Frank Reynolds' ABC broadcast, in which Howard K. Smith's commentary sees Woodstock as a precursor of future overpopulation:


And here's a young Lem Tucker reporting from the scene for NBC:

It's too bad that there was no such thing as cable news in August 1969 so that Fox News could tell us how awful it really was.
