She's fallen off the radar. Which can only mean we're due for another "leaked" home porn video any time now.

The Bachelor / Bachelorette
Dear God that show is so awful I can't even be in the same room when my wife watches it. Awful people acting awful. /puke
We managed to survive for thousands of years without 24 hour news. I'd venture to guess we could do without today. That said, it's here to stay, along with instant event analysis via Twitter, Instagram and other Social Media platforms.
Great question. Of current shows I’d echo the Kartrashians and the “Real” housewives of wherever. I’ve never watched 5 secs of KUWTK but it astounds me that these whorish, uber-materialistic, painfully out of touch dilettantes have legions of fans and are rich for being shills to the highest bidder. I wonder if we’d have so many like Aunt Becky’s spoiled brat “influencer” if not for these “ladies” giving the template on how to make money for nothing and making girls think that putting on makeup or being attractive are good life/career skills.
The Real Housewives are just very badly named. “Should be named Golddiggers, Divorcees, Groupies, and/or overall Horrible People Acting Horribly Who Happen To Have a Kid and Live in a Particular Place Currently” and I’d have less of a problem with it.
The Atlanta one is just laughable and made me dislike a former Falcons player who married one of the old battle axes who’s at least 20 years older than him(Kroy Bierman). I’m not saying Actual Atlanta Housewives are great unless you enjoy watching the competition as to who can get hubby to spend the most on an impractical luxury SUV to tote their kids around, but at least that’s real lol. “Think that BMW SUV would look great at soccer practice? Wait til you see the racing inspired M series version! You need that extra horsepower to cut people off in the carpool lane!”. Lol.
I DO think that some non reality shows should be included as they are the obvious and deserved whipping boys. But I’m honestly hard pressed to think of one that comes close to being as bad. I will say that I’m NOT a superhero/comic book guy so I’m not likely to see any of the Marvel movies, but I’m definitely not going to watch TV shows from the universe.
GMA. All of their news is based on opinion. All of their interviews are written in advance and read from a teleprompter. If you think respondents answer questions in a spontaneous way, think again.
There is a new show on the Starz channel that will make you feel like we're approaching the End Times, and it's (fittingly) called Now Apocalypse.
Here's an excerpt from a review of the show that tells you all you need to know...
Hailing from the minds of New Queer Cinema legend Gregg Araki and Vogue sex columnist Karley Sciortino, the new Starz series follows bisexual protagonist Ulysses (Avan Jogia) and his friends as they pursue love, sex and fame in Los Angeles. The show is literally everything a queer audience would want.
Unfortunately, Saturday Night Live. I grew up watching it and loved it. Now it is nothing but an hour and a half of political propaganda.
I'd get rid of the three hour block on Fox news with Cucker Tarlson, hannity, and Ingraham. It should be called, "Things we made up to keep you mad at liberals and other assorted propaganda." Fox has some decent programming but those three are just assholes.
Ugh
Plenty of assholes and misinformation specialists to go around. Personally, I'd 86 MSNBC but it's a endemic problem in "journalism" these days across the board.
This will not be popular (buut neither have I been all my life sooo I'm used to it) but The Walking Dead and any other zombie shows or movies. Zombies creep-me-out. When I am sick and have a fever I always have zombie dreams. I don't know why. So help me I believe the very concept of the living dead is demonic.
To keep this one on the rails let's just all agree that political pundits on EITHER side are essentially worthless. Regardless of your side of the aisle or network of choice, getting your opinions from people who are often unqualified, make money telling you what you want to hear, and have an obvious agenda is a bad idea. The definition of pundit used to mean an expert or learned person..from an Indian/Hindu term. Now it has been superceded by "a source of opinion".
IMO, Country would be a lot better if people on both sides realized the difference and stopped taking what these "entertainers" say as being gospel truth.
Corporate media isn't journalism. They stick with the formula that gets the most viewers. For Fox news it's always been saying whatever the conservative viewership wants to hear and keeping them mad at liberals. Currently MSNBC and CNN just talk Trump nonstop, but it's always about getting ratings and making money. Unfortunately substantive reporting and discussions on policy isn't a big money maker. I used those three from Fox because they are particularly egregious and others had already criticized "liberal" shows, so I thought I'd bring a different perspective to keep things fair and balanced.
Warning from a Mod in 3....2....1? lol
