The Unseriousness Of News

Every so often, an example arises that undermines the pretense of today’s broadcast news media that they are a community of serious minded, sober professionals intent on providing the public with the important developments in current events.
One such example occured yesterday.
Frankly my dear Lloyd, I don’t give a damn.

  1. Good posting. A ranking list of the most popular movie lines of all time? What is it with these people? Find something useful to do, you Hollywood tinselheads.

  2. The AFI may not be biased but…for the best recent line: Colonel Nathan Jessep in “A Few Good Men”:
    “You can’t handle the truth!”
    Indeed. To give a damn, or one’s life.

  3. “Da poof is da poof, and when you have good poof,it is poofen!” (But do not expect to find this in the Penguin Dictionary of Quotations anytime in the near future).

  4. Considering CTV’s anti-Tory bias, maybe Lloyd should be saying to Stephen Harper, “Get the butter.”

  5. OK I get it she got an IPOD

    I have been working away today with CTV NewsNet on in the background and it seems like every five minutes they run the “story” that Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth has recently got an IPOD. Actually I heard the breaking news about tw…

  6. My favourite movie line:
    After “how dare you pass wind before me?”, Austin Powers says – “I’m sorry baby, I didn’t know it was your turn!”

  7. ” If I were twety years younger I’d take A FLAME THROWER to this place”….sheesh.
    “You talkin’ to me?”

  8. I just heard newman with his press gang trash Stephen Harper. How pathetic they all sounded, they sounded like prissy on GWTW. They are old gossips and they giggle and snort like half drunk old soaks. They thought they were putting out the soft fur for the Liberanos and their arm flapping blubbering old fool of a Billionare puky paule. If it were not so pathetic it would be funny, Travers talked about ‘dumbed down public – he is the shining example! I don’t know why these people feel superior to the dumbed down public but they certainly do! Talk about bias – they did not have one non commie there. All Liberano bow wows. Yes Kate, there is a fairyland, you and I live in it.
    Over the rainbow to the pot of gold in Liberano loo loo land; O n t a r i ooo!!
