"OT - Thanks, CNN..."


          

...and MSNBC, FoxNews, and now even my local network TV news programs.

With your banners, bugs, and the "crawl", you've taken over so much of the real estate
on my (former) 21-inch TV screen that it now might as well be a 17-incher.

And now to add insult to injury, you start using the crawl to advertise your website,
upcoming programs, and other "supplementary info" that you think I just can't do without.

Keep it up and I may just cover up that portion of the screen with duct tape.
(Maybe using holiday colors, in keeping with the season?)

Red Green and Tim Taylor would be so proud!

Just now, after a commercial break, the talking head said, "Welcome back to America's New War."
Do these people even hear what they're saying? Do they really think it's just any old program topic?
Welcome back?? To a war?!? What DOPES!!! :'(

Heve you tried CNN's Headline News lately? They've taken the left side to explain what the "Talking Head" is saying. Reminds you of PIP with an enlarged CC.

Sitting in from of my Sony 32" XBR. The graphics still dominate the picture. The "Talking Heads" must be particularly ugly. Can't tell anymore.

And did you see how they forgot to report the adventures of Mr. Turner's friend (Castro)? I can not see anything about the three Cuban spies that yesterday were sentenced to life in prison in a court in Miami for spying in American Air bases and been accomplices in the shut down of two American air planes.

May come as a surprise Roni, but Ted Turner was forced out of CNN over a year ago by Time Warner. He has no say over what they show or don't show.

I hate those new screen formats. I can't begin to imagine what kind of halfwit thought that was smart programing.

What I've done is make cardboard cutout of the screen and cut in a bunch of little "doors" with gaffers tape hinges and I can open and shut them with a bunch of little strings that I pull from across the room to open and shut different doors to reveal certain parts of the screen......... then the cat came in to play with the strings....
