Right, why is the news filled with idiots who bought a house in a flood plain bitching that insurers won't insure them! Its like Jesus complaining about being crucified, don't die for our sins then stupid.
Also I can't help thinking that the most recent school shooting is so far down in the news because its a mainly African American school. And don't get me started on this Diana inquiry. Grrrrr I hate the news. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
It's good for telling stupid people stupid things.
Or is that just The Sun? 
Odd thing is, I'm surprisingly tolerant in real life.

Real life? Whats that?
They publish what attracts their target audience..
A lot of thought goes into it, believe it or not..
You seem to be reading/watching that shit?
Life is but a joke!
I know it's bad but i won't watch the news... i feel so down and depressed after it i just don't know what to do with myself. If i read the news it's over someone's shoulder on the tube! 
I love watching the news. It's relaxing to have News 24 on in the background, just so I know I'm not missing anything important.
Like Britney being arrested/shaving part of her body/running over her own child.

How tall are you Ellie? 6' 5"?
Yep! I know - tall for a gal!
Nah -it's cause i'm always standing up to let the elderly sit down so i can read their paper while they're sitting down. It's a clever plot. Although the paper IS free so i don't know why i don't get one myself. MAD!
Aaron, what's wrong with the Sun. Admittedly I don't often get past page 3, so I'm not sure how good it really is.
itv news is the worst - it's like the daily mail on screen.

But even stupider.
They always say to get ideas for writing comedy, that you should watch the news and read the papers.
Explains why so many great comedians were all manic depressive
I love the news. I have to keep up to date with what is going on. Especialy when it comes to the wars etc. As a mummy to a soldier & all that.
I like to read the paper in the loo. Its boring sitting up there. Also quite often we run out of toilet paper.
Free newspapers are amazing...It meant I could look like I knew what I was on about when I got to King's Summer school having read it on the tube on the way; and also meant the annoying guy I had to travel with didnt talk to me because I was reading
