*FOOD
FOR THOUGHT: We now have enough subscribers to support TvNewsLIES.org
if every subscriber to this mailing list donated $1
per month!* If we doubled the size of our list it would
only take $0.50 per week. Being financed to this point would mean
that TvNewsLIES could pay for its
overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring
reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow
TvNewsLIES could repay my original
investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food!
Just something to think about.

*TVNL Editor's Comments:
Sometimes There Are Stupid Questions*
For
most of my life I have encouraged curiosity. I have always felt
that there is nothing wrong with asking questions about things
that you don't know. I had a long career in technology and I have
had to teach many people many things. I have also had to learn
many things. I was fortunate enough to work with people who were
gracious with their knowledge and they shared it with me. I did
and still do the same. I take the time to explain, what is to me
the most boring and obvious technological information, with anyone
who needs my help (well almost anyone). I understand that it is OK
not to know everything and the only way to learn is to admit to
yourself that you don't know something...and then find out the
answers. Asking questions is one way of learning and I understand
that there is nothing wrong with doing so. So I adhere to the
notion that there are no stupid questions, (just stupid people!)
On
the other hand...when a so called journalist, or reporter, or TV
news reader, blathers on and forces him or herself to come up
with questions while they are conducting an on air interview, just
for the sake of filling time, my opinion about stupid questions is
rendered invalid. When I watch the bozos on TV fill time by
forcing themselves to ask questions for the sake of pretending to
be journalists I repeatedly find myself uttering, out loud, the
phrase bwhat the f*#K does that have to do with anything?b
Some, or I should say most of the questions asked by these on-air
talking heads do nothing more than expose the limited intellectual
capacities of today's TV news zombies.
I
know most of the on-screen teleprompter readers are vein to some
extent. Nobody would want to put their face on TV everyday unless
they had some sort of self appreciation. But you would think that
a little pride would prevent these vein individuals from wanting
to look stupid. One would think that, but one would be wrong. But
then again, most Americans have been conditioned to the point of
not being able to spot the obvious, even if the obvious comes in
the form of a blithering idiot pretending to be a journalist!
The
on-air TV clowns are to journalism what the first round rejects
are to the American Idol competition. Unfortunately it would take
an American Idol/Journalism Edition before the masses of oblivious
Americans noticed this! Think about it! Jesse Richard b
