What exactly is silly about it? Displaying that a news source which you and many others use as a reputable defense, decides to blatantly change the facts?

I won't deny that it tops in the news category, what with CNN having it's nightly "Breaking News" show about the Caley Anthony case and MSNBC having its..... even MSNBC doesn't know what they're reporting about.

However, ratings is no indication of quality. With garbage like "True Blood", "The Secret Life of the American Teenager", and "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! " being some of the top rated shows in June, you can hardly argue that ratings equals quality.

Also, Democrats are too busy being out feeding the homeless, hugging trees and making people get abortions to be at home watching TV.

You're really reaching to bash Fox here, Johnny. That "D" was up on the screen for 7 whole seconds. Then, it was correctly switched to "R". You clearly didn't see it, because you just picked it out of some internet site this morning. Fox even mentioned after fixing it that they had done the same thing back in 2006 with Foley. They didn't have to, but they did. Doesn't really seem to me like Fox is trying to secretly make viewers think that all bad politicians are Dems.

Have you even watched True Blood? I can understand if you think the other shows are garbage, but True Blood is very good compared to some of the other crap HBO tries to pass off as programming.

My roommates girlfriend watches each episode 2-3 times in our apartment. I have seen it, and think it is terrible. You're dead on with regards to the crap HBO tries to pass off. From what I've seen, Sopranos and Curb Your Enthusiasm are the only two good shows I remember them putting out (I'm sure there are a few others I've missed).

With regards to the Fox stuff, the reason I posted it was because I was watching a story about Sanford that had the (D) in two different places. Then did a little googling to see if this was an isolated case or if someone showed other instances of it happening.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of my favorite shows of all time. Deadwood was good. Entourage is pretty damn good, too. I used to like Six Feet Under, but don't really miss it now that it's gone. True Blood is good enough that I'll watch the episodes on demand, but I don't have to see it every week when it first comes on. I definitely wouldn't watch it more than once, though. I was a little disapointed in Hung's premeir, but I'll give it another chance to see if it gets better.
