5. I'm always happy to hear someone say they stopped watching that.

I quit long ago, for a very strange reason.

When that pipeline exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, and Keith Olbermann had that picture of the oil pumping out of the ground, just pumping and pumping that filth into the sea, I couldn't watch anymore. I just had to stop.

I cannot say that I miss it. And, I will not start now, because I can't stand to look at or hear about Cheeto Benito, and I am really pissed off at the corporate media, because I believe that they bear a lot of responsibility for his "election". I am actually down to pretending that November 8th didn't really happen, but is just a really bad teevee show (it's gonna be a long four years). I can read as much news as I want, right here at DU. Thank goodness it's such a great site!
