Crummy News Network

We've heard mumbling about Lou Dobbs buggering off on air yesterday, but haven't looked into it. Salon has a mess of crap about CNN, which relates directly to our comment here.
Prime-time success isn't a new problem in a place that has long lived and died by the news cycle, to which former hosts such as Aaron Brown, Connie Chung and Paula Zahn can attest. It seems more acute because CNN's younger rivals were faster in figuring out a way to make appointment viewing at night.
Now there's no one w/ whom to make an appointment for constant anti-immigrant rhetoric at 1900 ET, 1600 PT. Plot or conspiracy?

And now, having just read what Dobbs said, we see the old bastard really does want to take a shot at the presidency. Good luck w/ that, fatso. Gaaggh.
“Some leaders in the media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond my role here at CNN and engage in constructive problem-solving,” Dobbs said. “I’m considering a number of options and directions.”
Maybe he & ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin can go on the lecture circuit together.

Constructive problem-solving could be just playing in a sandpit at creche. They feed you there, too although some are the kids are not white, is all I'm saying.
You may borrow the term creeparse if you want to MB

We fear many of these people did not learn how to play well w/ others in the sandbox at nursery school (as we so colorfully put it).

May Americanize that: "Creepy-assed," perhaps.

True, we must relate to our audience.

We firmly support AmeriKKKan cultural hegemony; makes typing for the world-wide consumer base less agonizing if we don't have to explain everything.
