CNN Headline Snooze

Headline news used to be a God send for an insomniac. 2 or 3 in the morning, sitting in an easy chair with the news repeating. Over and over, requiring no focus. Eventually you doze off. But now half way thru the day it turns into tabloid television. You get some Hollywood show, and then....Nancy Grace and Glen Beck. Its like a horror movie. These two aren't hosting talk shows, they're acting. Over acting.

I watched Glen Beck once for five minutes. As if his diatribe wasn't bad enough, he used finger quotation marks SIX FREAKIN TIMES! He actually make Bill O'Riely seem tolerable. Well, almost. What has become of TV news? I need something to put me under, not raise my blood pressure. Finger quotation marks? What kind of guy does that? Getting pissed off just thinking about it. Gotta go.
