Where’s the Iran coverage?

david:

Just plugged in my cable box.  Can’t find anything on CNN/FN/MSNBC :(

Update: Cable news = Marijuana addiction, Bill Maher annoyed about something, and Miss California “controversy”.

You know there’s stuff on the Internet, right?

Update: That was snarkier than I originally intended, but really, people today are acting like the Iran story is the first time they’ve realized cable news was the worst. Cable news has been the worst basically as long as it’s been cable news.

  11. berezina answered: I avoid watching television coverage of current events. It tends to induce righteous anger, and misanalysis. Abstract sentences are better.
