I wish the media would shut up about  (insert whatever political drama/scandal is currently in the media cross-hairs)

The Qur'an burnings in Georgia would be a good answer as well...

Good call.

Also, the NY Mosque is another non-story, in my opinion.

I'd have to say some good answers,I'd add Jersey shore people,and Kardashiens (sp?) to the list too....

One of mine,(I've got a feeling Maine might have something to say on this  Cheesy ) I'd like them to shut up about how fat Americans are....I don't care about another study somewhere about how bad our food is,how fat we are.....

Another quick one...Polls on how I'm supposedly feeling about things right now....I've not taken any polls?

That's just posturing bullcrap, in my opinion.  The only reason that the people in the Middle East will even see it is because the news stations are talking about it 24-7.

The guy is doing this for attention and everyone is giving it to him.

Free speech means protecting the free speech of idiots, too.  The news stations should just let the guy do his thing, ignore it, and report on real news.

I'm much more bothered by politicians (or pundits) that think they are celebrities: Sharpton, Glenn Beck, Palin, Rush, etc -- stirring up controversy where none would otherwise exist.

Well, that too.  I would add Obama to that list, but that would make me a racist.

No, it wouldn't make you racist (unless your reason for not wanting to hear about him is because of his race), it would, however, make you incredibly ignorant. 

The single most important responsibility of the press is to keep the electorate informed of workings of the government.   Obama is the head of the executive branch and holds the single most important office in our democracy.  Would you like the press to stop reporting on Supreme Court decisions and the working of the congress as well?

^ Oh, so he needs to go on The Tonight Show and on The View?   I thought he had more important things to do.  Nice trying to bait me by calling me ignorant.  Hey, I think that was a personal attack!  Someone call the mods!
