You've just gotta love the news media!

I don't make a habit of poking fun at the television news media, but this one really made me chuckle.

The network news reported this evening that longevity in America has now increased to the point where "Americans are living longer than ever before".

The reporter attributed the improvement in longevity to "falling mortality rates".

HOW STUPID IS THAT STATEMENT?

That's like reporting the reason more Americans are living longer is because fewer are dying until later in life. DUH.

Death kills. And if you live longer, you'll be older when you die.

Who's scripting these news stories for the networks?

I guess you just can't find good help these days.

Excellent observation...kind of like George Carlin's "Nifty Difty Weatherman..."Tonight's forecast...Dark, with periods of intermittent light towards dawn"

"Police fired over the heads of rioters today...unfortunately, they killed 17 people on the second floor!"

Bob, remember the Cheech & Chong spoof on television reporting?

"The officer shouted 'halt' and fired five warning shots into the back of the fleeing suspect's head".

Send it to Lenno...it's right up his ally!
