Another election another media cesspool of liberal bias. All the brilliant brains out their in the media spider web have proven yourselves to be like little brats hiding behind the 1st Amendment usurping the truth just to get rating. Who in the hell do you think you are fooling? The media is intentionally liberal socialist hacks.

How much tax money was spent to change to HDTV. Who got dinners and golf games for selling out the public trust? If the employees of the FCC didn't do their job shouldn't they give any pay they recived for looking out for the good of the pubic back? Afer all they got the free meals at the "meeting".

I have a brilliant idea for a new game show with global appeal, which can earn your company a huge
fortune. Are you accepting submissions, and if so, who shall I send it to?

Who knows where this is going,yet couldn't help using this for a stated opinion.
I watch little in the way of SOAPS these days, however, I learned of the two long running stories being removed on CBS, and how one thus far is being replaced by a game show.
Who was the master mind behind this thought,do you really believe a soap fan will enjoy a game show long? Think again, you will loose them to other stations for certain.
We are in tough times we all know, yet SOAPS have been around in the worse of situations.....

Are the people there deaf ? Well, I'm not and I resent the commercials SCREAMING at me. Do the advertisers really think I will buy their products or watch Regis & Kelly because it is beyond LOUD ! Does CBS want to be the loudest kid at the playground. Bad form! Grow up and tone it down. Oh yes, I press the mute until the show resumes.
