I have heard "no news is good news" many, many times and believe that it could be true depending on the reference. Last night I missed the news and weather but caught a clip on a Columbia channel saying something like "7 on 17 coming up". I know this means 7 minutes of news and weather without a commercial so I hung around.

Gag! The station then flipped to a basketball game in progress. I was able to read at the bottom that there was only a little over a minute left so I watched a bit and waited. Watched long enough to decide basketball to be one of the most ignorant games ever to mess with regular TV watching. What with purposeful fouls, timeouts and all the other silly goings on, gees, I had to wait over 40 minutes as they ran from one end of the court to the other, stumbled and banged each other through that last 83 seconds. Does this sound ridicules?

Anyway, I subjected myself to what was, for over 40 minutes waiting for the news that turned out to be no news. Not good, not good at all!!!!

News is only a wonder for some and a leader of others. With the biased coverage of today's happenings, some will accept it as gospel while the less gullible will always wonder what the real story might be. Some even wonder enough to flip channels.~Anon
