The world further says that, "the proof is in the pudding." This is not only a misquote, it makes no sense.
It makes sense if the murder weapon actually is submerged in a bowl of pudding!

1. I agree, the media as a whole is pretty much a circus.

2. How are you tired of this already? Its barely been 24 hours.

3. Michael Jordan is not a hero. Derek Jeter is not a hero. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III IS a hero

I agree with the OP. I can't even stand to watch the news anymore because of all the crap that they

The media is filled with a bunch of senseless democrats who hire pretty faces to read trash off of a teleprompter.

are you also upset that Jesus fed the 5000?

do you hate the military kid who dove on the grenade to save his fellow men?

does it annoy you that clara barton saved thousands of lives?







i agree that the media way overplays and over emphasizes most things, and a lot of times will try to create news where there isn't any, but that's not really the case with the pilot...who did save those people's lives. he should be commended, and should be allowed all the news coverage he wants.

i see what you're getting at, but i don't agree about the pilot thing. and i'm probably one of the most insensitive people alive.
the pilot did his job, get the people down safely,which he did, and yes he's a hero and all that shit but this happened yesterday, msnbc still has the breaking news thingy over the feed thingy

oh and about the woman in florida NO MATTER WHAT SHE DID SHE STILL DESERVES A FAIR TRIAL...why you ask? so theres no room for an appeal

he's a hero. Doing your job is one thing. Doing your job and saving 150+ people is heroism.
