You may mock my lack of finesse now.
I amenjoying watching the documentary film "Outfoxed", in its entirety, online for free.
I pretty much stopped watching tv news not long after 9/11. Yay, me. The only problem with my continued avoidance is that I wasn't really watching, saddened and helpless while everything turned evil. So, in a very bizarro sense, I'm only just now getting a picture of what everyone's been watching. It's not been a caricature?
I think I'm starting to get what the fuss is all about.
I am seriously frustrated by the fact that I cannot kick the living shit out of a television to deal with my impotent rage.
Additional query: who owns comcast?
I am

The vast majority of television news in the US is a reeking pile of crap. You really notice this when you compare the BBC'c or various online coverage of most events to CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc. The amount of information simply does not compare- and that's without even going into the radically right leaning versions of events that most US news present.
Before I explode with rage about it myself I will answer your question:
Comcast is a public company, but the largest shares are apparently owned by the Roberts family who founded the company in 1969. With every merger, the Roberts family have replaced the upper management of the companies they merged with and retained the Comcast name.
