Thank god they caught the snipers so we can get back to the really important stuff…like Martha Stewart, Rosie O’Donnell, and the kids who bludgeoned their father. The media in this country has lost any credibility it might have gained after 9/11. Still a bunch of wind bags and know it alls who just want to spew their own opinions and call it journalism. Hey, is C-Span still on the air???
