Our national nightmare is over! No more self-aggrandizing reports from journalists on how bad their experience was to endure!!

That is, until the hurricane comes in a couple of days and we get shoved a faceful of reporters standing in a tempest, telling us how dangerous it is to go outside . . .

Why do network producers put their reporters in harms way covering wars, violent protests, and dangerous weather?. IMHO, it just doesn’t seem worth the risk to life & limb to “get the story”.

Man, that was a close one!

Journalists are like gnats.

whew!  what a relief.

Media Masturbation.

Journalists are the real heroes.

Wow, great news!

Excellent.

I am always impressed with the lengths to which true journalists will go to keep us informed. It is a noble profession debased by some, to be sure, but we are indebted to the good ones.

That reminds me, do we have any reports from Steve Harrigan’s terrace?

Heros? It seems like they were hostages. But yea, its worth giving credit to the woman and men who risk their lives for the news, and in support of freedom everywhere.

I just paíd $ 23.86 for an iPhone 4 and my girlfriend loves her Panäsoníc Lümix Cämera that we got for $38.78 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch HD-TV to my boss for $625 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, GrabPennу.com

Then don’t watch. Or are you too stupid to know how to use the “off” switch on your remote?

There is something very wrong about journalists becoming “news”.    They are not news.  They are not as important as you may think they are mediaite.  They used to be respectable.  They are now just conduits/mouthpieces for the politicos. 

You Right Wingers are a bunch of BITTER, ANGRY people.  Don’t you get tired of being mad at everyone and everything?

And you wonder why you have no Right Wing comedians.  It’s because you all are miserable.

Your remote has switches? And one of them says “off”? That’s weird.

I’d ask you what you’re talking about, but I’m sure I’m too sane to understand it.

There have been more reports about reporters in the news than Libyan details. There are more outlets than the television for news coverage, or are you too stupid to know how to get off of the couch?

I’m sure you aren’t, but why quibble?

What a dumb comment. Would be news if 36 bakers were held hostage in Libya by gunman. Find and put on your tinfoil hat.

It might be news if they were hostages. They’re not.

In reading over the posts, it appears to me that you are the only one here who seems to be BITTER and ANGRY.  My question to you then is:  Don’t you get tired of being mad and everyone and everything?

I’m no right winger, but it’s sometimes hard to feel sorry for those who are “trapped” in a five star hotel with a luxurious spa and wellness center. While it may be true that the masseuse is unavailable because he’s fighting for his country’s survival, there’s always the pool bar. It just looks funny to see a picture of a hotel employee explaining to a bunch of helmeted journos that he can’t get them a cab right now, ’cause there’s a man outside who says he’ll shoot them if they blow that stupid whistle again. Remember the guy in Iraq on the balcony who screamed like a little girl every time there was an explosion in the streets 15 stories below? I mean, c’mon, lets maintain a little perspective here. You chose a very dangerous job, we know. Don’t exaggerate it by donning a helmet and flack jacket, when your insipid report could just as easily originate from the safety of a stairwell. 

Yes, I agree. And I don’t care how much mikerodgers1199 paid for his stupid iPhone, either… The weatherman standing in the rain (who we call “the goof on the roof” here in Pittsburgh) could do that job just as well as you, and would do so for a hell of a lot less money. Save your “I almost died” stories for your mom. I’m sure she’ll be impressed. And take off that stupid helmet. You look like a caricature of Michael Dukakis.
