Their "analysis" of SNL's recent "Obama has done nothing" skit was the last straw for me. And (as usual) Jon Stewart put it into perspective like no one else could when he asked if they also discovered that sharks live in water and don't deliver candy-grams. I decided a few months ago that I was going to have to cut back on the news I watch in my own 24-hour cycle. Too much analysis, too much repetition, too much criticism--too much period! It was getting overwhelming trying to keep up, to understand it all and what it means. But the thing is, you don't really need t know THAT much. Unless you're running the country, and you hopefully won't be looking to the media to tell you what's going on if you are. Now, I read Newser, and I check in on a few other sites if I want to dig deeper...and I sleep much better at night. :) Amen!
