today's rant: cable news and healthcare, originally 3/22/10

..up until recently, i watched cnn.  i watched them cover the '08 election.  i think i did that because if they did have a liberal bias, at least they'd be happy conveying the positive news.  and if they were happy and in a joyful mood, i'd be happy and in a joyful mood.  however i can't seem to wrap myself around watching cnn anymore.  let me be clear, this has nothing to do with any sort of political paranoia.  simply put, "the best news team on television" relies on twitter and facebook too much.  you know that that means:  they are secretly playing mafia wars while they are reporting the news.

so since i'm not watching cnn anymore, and definitely not watching fox news at all, all that i'm sticking with is cnbc.  the way i see it, money has no politics.  besides, jim cramer is entertaining as fuck.

to be honest, i sincerely hope that universal healthcare works.  i think it's something that would help a lot of people, if we can work on the potential tax costs and potential long lines at doctors' offices.  as for myself, my copays have doubled in the past 2 years.  if someone in dc wants to fix that, be my fucking guest.  as for the reps vote last night, i'm just surprised a house of congress actually did something.  on a sunday night, even!  holy shit!  they actually earned some pay.  let's face facts, congress is the least useful branch of government.  the fact that they stayed at work and completely missed family guy speaks volumes.  congress hasn't done jack shit for the past 20 years.  what made them start now?
