normally before i leave for work, i have like 15 minutes to drink coffee, eat breakfast and use that time to catch up on news from TV. normally i use google news to get all the news. but heck i'm sitting in front of the tv, so why not watch some news channel.

since fox news makes my skin crawl, i have no other option than to watch cnn headline. i stopped watching it for a long time like 6 months, because i'm not getting any valuable news from them too.
last few days i noticed that this Robin & company does more propoganda than the actual news.
two days back she talked about her website, and i thought hey it is not bad, but i'm going to go and check on it though.
then she talked about how to get the merchandise. i was so shocked, why would somebody would get a merchandize for a program that is supposed to deliver the news, instead they don't.
then today she talked about her dog, which she told that is the mascot for the program. i was like what. is she being sarcastic. because Stephen colbert does so in his program about the eagle, and i know for sure that he is being sarcastic.
only god can save the american people, as they have no choice of getting news from either fox or cnn.
