Kyyle23 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 09:06 AM) How about news. Afghanistan, health care, Iraq, the recession, etc. You know...things that matter. I dont think the coverage of these matters dropped so much. CNN, MSNBC, Fox all had their news crawls going full speed for real news while this little distraction took place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I really hope that we get a smackdown of a news agency or two by the prosecutors office, if they were really involved. Maybe this will lead to some of these groups covering actual news again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Now CNN is covering the coverage of the story. Reminds me of their Pulitzer-worthy look back on their own Michael Jackson coverage. What a garbage network. Why does anyone waste their time with the cable news media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 So this little "skit" resulted in this couple having the "Wife Swap" episode that was already recorded being taken off the air, the upcoming wife swap that they were to also appear in is no longer possible, and whatever reality show they were angling for will never happen now either. Brilliant plan, Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
