Sorry, but WTF is on Scarborough?
Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 09:13 PM by globalvillage
Searchers fine NOTHING washes up on the beach.
An empty barrel?
What's next, an old boot?
Seriously, they are making a joke out of this. It's pitiful. I know the family is desperate, and I feel for them, but this has been on for 10 minutes.
An empty barrel??? Give me a break.


edit, misspelled WTF.
:wtf:

2. They're still obsessing over the Aruba teen, huh?
Geez, some people don't know how to move on (and I don't mean the teen's family and friends either).

5. I don't wach Scarborough,
but I was flipping through the channels and I saw them pull a barrel out of the water. My first thought was "man, this is horrible", but it was actually an empty barrel. And they continued to discuss the empty barrel for 10 minutes. I couldn't stop watching, it was so insane.
I need to get out more. I can't believe I watched that shit.

3. I heard Hulk Hogan (I think) or some wrestler was going
to be Scarborough's centerpiece tonight. Seems reality doesn't want to be addressed in this show.

7. Oh...
You haven't noticed...it's when no-news, is the news. Like the shuttle that didn't launch, the hurricane that didn't blow, etc. It's the latest in non-reporting...as Orwell rolls...

8. hahaa.....
My favorite Scarborough moment was last year when Hurricane Ivan was headed toward his hometown in Florida. The night before it was tracked to hit he signed off by saying we will be live tomorrow on the scene to cover the storm. I thought well that's pretty noble of him, going down with the ship so to speak in his hometown with the winds blowing and the rain hitting him in the face. I decided to tune in to watch the next night. So I turn on the set and there's big Joe in the comfort of his studio chair sending it out to Reagan Jr., who's blowing around the streets like a garbage can lid reporting on the storm....lol....you gotta love Joe....

Now his show is mainly junk.

12. Greta Van Sustren was giving teasers about a new find in the Aruba case...
Hannity spent 15 minutes or more on it. It was going to be a big story on Greta's show later. O'Reilly had it on.

It was a barrel that was determined not to be a part of the case.

13. Well, you know, a pretty white girl...
..disappeared. Gotta give that round the clock coverage.

Meanwhile, dozens of female minorities go missing every week with absolutely no media interest at all.

It's disgusting if you ask me.

Yeah, I feel for the family, but this isn't any more or less important than other missing people. Personally, I just don't feel these sorts of things are really deserving of this sort of massive media coverage. A local story, sure? But endless national exposure? Ridiculous. Don't we have more pressing issues to spend the bulk of our time worrying about? You know, a couple wars, heathcare crisis, huge national debt, etc, etc, etc, etc...

Unfortunantly, lots of people love following this stuff. Greta's ratings are through the roof, and you can see that hillbilly Scarborough is trying to tap into those numbers by running wall to wall Aruba coverage too.
