Which is the Most Trusted TV News Outlet?

What’s your favorite TV news channel for national-oriented news?

When it comes to local news, we all like to turn to our favorite local news ABC, CBS, NBC, or FOX outlet.  Sometimes the local news we choose to watch is based solely on what we like to watch during primetime; sometimes the local news we choose to watch is on a specific station.

But what do we choose to watch when it comes to getting our national news?

What is the worst joke ever written?

What’s the worst joke ever written?

Henny Youngman could write a book about ’em.

Comedy, like many thinks in life, is subjective.  What’s funny to one person is definitely not funny to someone else.  Sometimes it’s not the line that’s said, but the way it’s being presented.  Mimes can be funny without saying a word.

Kids’ jokes are inherently not funny in and of themselves, but sometimes it’s amusing to hear children tell jokes that are clearly meant for an adult audience.

What’s the most misspelled word submitted in FCC indecency complaints?

We’ve all seen stuff on TV that we felt was questionable at times.

Whether it be the infamous Wardrobe Malfunction at the Super Bowl to graphic news coverage, there have been times that TV producers have pushed the envelope more than they should in order to meet artistic goals (or to gain a little press for themselves).

No longer is after 10p considered safe harbor for language or nudity, as cable channels don’t have to adhere to the same FCC regulations that broadcasters have to contend with.  So the broadcasters are forced to make programming decisions that reflect today’s society.

But just because they CAN make these choices, doesn’t mean they SHOULD make these choices.

Who are the Worst Football Announcers on TV?

We all watch football every weekend, right?

And if not football every week, you at least watch the Super Bowl with your friends or family.  And who can’t remember the classic sounds of Howard Cosell calling a sporting event that big?  It was magic, wasn’t it?

Definitely memorable.

OMG! It’s the KITTEN BOWL!

It’s what some media analysts are already calling the SUPER BOWL SHOWDOWN OF THE CENTURY, and the NFL has absolutely nothing to do with this one.

It’s all about creating the most entertaining alternative programming during the annual Football Championship Game, and there’s a new challenger in place this time that is making a lot of noise.
