OMG, I finally broke down and watched commercial TV.
I haven't seen commercial TV news in about ten years.
I've been on PBS the last ten years, Newshour, BBcNews, DWnews...
Is this what you people are watching?
I felt like I was watching a satire of news,
and the commercials every five minutes!
I spent more time hitting mute I could barely keep track...
