Eye on the media
      #117171 - 11/19/03 10:26 PM

Hi all

It looks like all of us could benefit from keeping up with what's going on in the media on a daily basis. I am saying this because not a day goes by that I am not upset with myself for missing another relevant show.

Not that I am a big fan of Oprah or John Walsh (whom I do respect for his dedication and persistence) or Bo Dietl, but it seems like every day I can kick myself for having missed this discussion or that talk show or some topic on another programme.

But between the hundreds of us on the web board here, we can probably make a system that works. Maybe a stickeyed message that stays on top with the title *shows to watch* ,to which members send their viewing suggestions along with time and (radio/tv/webcast) station.

What do you all think of the idea I think it will keep us all a bit more synchronised/organised/updated. Just another step towards organizing ourselves and gathering info.

Have a pain-free/worry free night, all, including those who hate me,

Red

Red,

With any luck, this story will die down soon, having run the media cycle. Not to make light of it, but I think Michael Jackson is going to save our butts! Yours is a good idea, especially for people (unlike me) who don't have all day to read the board.

Don't sweat the haters.

Thanks for that -- I am thin-skinned I guess.

Redhill,
Don't sweat it..just always tell it the way it is..and when it gets rough..try wearing these "old jump boots" for one posting session!!..HA!!! Read a little "Limper' stuff",I think you'll understand..
Somedays they really get on my case..but I try to remember.."when the going gets tough,the tough get going..straight ahead!"..ALWAYS! "All The Way!" (That holds true for me with life,pain AND posting!)
Limper
PS..I never post without remembering to don my flame-proof suit! HA!
Things we say here don't always seem to come out the exact way me mean them..NOR are they always read the way we meant them to be..Everyone seems to eventually get to have "their day/turn in the flame pit"...again,don't sweat it as these days we all have alot of frayed nerves around here with all this unanswered/untreated/under-treated pain..Hang in,we're all in the same boat here..

"Michael Jackson will save our butts"...I think you are EXACTLY right..as America loves a good juicy scandal..always have,always will..
People abusing pills is a very old story..BUT!..Very Strange 45 year old male SUPER STARS sleeping with and abusing 12 year olds of THE SAME SEX, not to MENTION a kid trying to survive cancer..is NOT an everday situation..hence..a BIG JUICY,VERY,VERY SICK ONE!!
A sad,terrible way to have to escape the frontpage..but an escape just the same..
Just the facts..as they seem at this moment folks..just the facts..So Sad..so sad..this IS terrible..I sure hope the kid is okay when he grows up..
Limper

Excellent idea, Red. I saw parts of Oprah yesterday. It was almost like watching a horror movie. I had to walk away from it and then I snuck (?) back to take another look. It was disgusting.

Maybe we can start a thread about upcoming media events - or should I say upcoming media hype? After all, ratings and $$$$$ are what it's all about.

A pain and anxiety free day to all.

Hey Limp!

You and I are agreeing more and more these days, huh! I really liked what you wrote to Redhill, he had a helluva time a few days back. We all may bicker now and then, but we're brothers and sisters in arms in the end!

Yours,
Sheena
