I am tired of having to listen to all the side theories of every major news outlet and their interpretations of the votes as they come in. Is there anyone better than another to get more solid info and less bullshit?

    You should have seen how bad that kind of stuff was when satellite TV was new. Channels would broadcast straight out into the airwaves and not bother to cut the feed. There’s some old fox news clips for example of the guy losing his shit when he kept flubbing his lines. Can’t remember his name.

      Uhhhhhh…are you talking about the Bill O Reiley outburst about Sting? Then he’s yelling at the teleprompter guy, because he’s an idiot who works in television who doesn’t know the phrase “play us out”?

      Because that had nothing to do with Fox News…or Satalite broadcasts. Those were supposed to be pretaped bumpers for the closing segment of Entertainment Tonight. But he goes off on a hissy fit, and then starts yelling “THIS THING SUCKS! IT SUCKS!!! PLAY US OUT!!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? FUCK IT!!! WE’LL DO IT LIVE!!! I’LL WRITE IT, YOU SHOOT IT!!! FUCKING THING SUCKS!!!”

      This was the 90s, before Bill O’Reiley was a Fox News talking head.

      Unless you’re talking about something else. Which could be the case.
