Here’s an idea for a drinking game. You and your friends gather around the TV to watch CNN. Every time they further debase their once-proud heritage as a real news organization, slam a tequila shot. By evening’s end, you’ll all be legless

The only sources of TV news you need are The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Here's the proof.

Amen--as long as you add Countdown on MSNBC, and any additional commentary Keith Olbermann does.

It's a sad state of affairs when the Comedy network brings us better news than the actual news outlets.

I try to avoid anything with "Microsoft" in the name. Imagine my despair when their logo started showing up on Crimson Skies suppliments.

I don't generally watch any of the real news networks. The exception was when I was in a diner recently, and watched Fox News for an hour: it was really appalling, but it made the Daily Show funnier.

Just give this a try:

I promise you won't regret it.

It's easy. "Have they fired Nancy Grace yet?" If not, drink.

Oh God. I know what you mean about consumer news. CityTV is the worst for it.

CityTV is a lightweight...

HAH - CityTV's got nothing on CNN or local americain news channels.
I switch quickly from any of the local american feeds (Seattle's KIRO is the worst) to City TV just to get a break from thier over-hyped "look someone died, we interview everyone who might have known them at 10!!" crap.

CBC, CTV, BBC international if you can find it, CityTV and of course the Daily Show. CNN is just a waste of your time & brain cells.

Do I smell a "nightly news" hack for Primetime Adventures?
