Why Television Must Die
I did something I rarely do this morning—I turned on the TV. I don’t even have cable, but what did I find?
At 7:30am, all 3 of the major network morning shows — the Early Show, Good Morning America, and the Today Show — were running “exclusive” expose’s on “High Priced Call Girls”.

I question the need for any one of these networks to show this kind of a story at 7:30am — but the fact that all three of them did so at exactly the same time of day reveals something far more insidious.
It’s only a question of when, not if, I yank the TV out of the wall and throw it through my window…
