Loose lips. People who talk too much and usually about things they don't know anything about. The media falls into this category.

Thumbs down What news media

Seems that most news media fails to talk about “news”. I can’t tell you how many times I’m watching or listening to the news and they’re talking about “$h!t” instead of news. Then when there is an important topic in the news ~ they put their own spin on it. The truth never comes out. I’ll listen or watch two or more sources of news and they can’t get it together.

What happened to “investigative reporting”? Many of the problems in our country would NOT have occurred if we had investigative reporting occurring that would bring topics out in the open for the public.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Alice ... do you know my MIL? I can definitely fit her into this category!

My ongoing battle with our media company landed me a victory today. HA! I'm sooo looking forward to next month when it'll probably all start over again!

Default If it Ain't Broke...

Back to peeves...
These 'new and improved' websites...they had to go and mess with something that was just fine. Now the site has more errors than ever!

How about "New & Improved" anything. Especially products, the only thing new and improved is the smaller container and higher price.
