Never watch local news, ever. However it rolled on last night while I was absorbed in something…lead story was about three children in a local suburb who have a virus that will require implantation of feces in their intestines. LEAD STORY.

Actually Journalists are a subset (mathematical definition). Not all retards work for the news media.

I assume a Venn diagram of journalists and retards would pretty much look like a single circle?

Amazing! I had no idea there was any overlap between the two.

“The News” is just cheap filler material between advertizements. If you want to hide real news, just make sure everyone involved is unattractive, the subject matter is somewhat boring, and no high quality pictures or video exist for the story.

How many people (of above 80 IQ) tune into “the news” to get the news? That’s what I want to know.

Nearly tangential enough to apply geometric proofs to find the truth. Work in the speed of light and you might be on to something.

I think you have overstated the intersection.
But then I think they are mutually exclusive.

Damnit, if ABC News didn’t cover Miley Cyrus spottings at Disney World, or who danced like a dream on Dancing with the Washedup Stars, then I wouldn’t know what to discuss at my virtual watercooler!!!!!!!!

RE: Well….

I know, it’s all Tinfoil Hattie of me, but sometimes I wonder if there could, for example, be an asteroid headed at the earth, and because there’s nothing anybody can do about it, They’ve declared a news black-out so we wind up hearing about The Eight minus John or Kate or something like that instead. — fillyjonk

….don’t “worry” about it.

I love a good Venn diagram and this is as good as they get. Along the same lines, in case you haven’t come across it already, there is a website devoted to such things: http://thisisindexed.com/

And no place is this more true than at my hometown paper the San Francisco Comicle, er, Chronicle.

At least the Soviet Union had the Orwellian irony to call their paper, “Pravda.”
