2. This is why I avoid the History Channel like the plague.
There's just no interesting history on there anymore. And if I wanted to watch a shitty "reality" show, I'd watch "Jersey Shore."

3. "Experts say no, but it's much more exciting to say maybe" sums up the media all the way around.
They don't get viewers by saying "Every other time we cut taxes it failed to stimulate the economy so there's no reason to think it will do a damn thing but drive up the deficit this time, and here's some economic theories to explain why this is so obviously true." They get viewers by saying "Democrats don't want to give you your money, but those nice Republicans do. Aren't Democrats meanies?"

4. "Pawn Stars," "Life After People," and occasionally "Modern Marvels" are popular in this house. (Ok,
I know someone has also been watching "Ice Road Truckers" but it wasn't me. :P)

7. It's been going downhill for years.
Same with the Discovery Channel.
