Why I don't watch TV news

Watching TV news is pointless. The pundits are wrong as much as they are right. Which isn't important anyway, because you don't actually know when they are wrong or right, so it's all useless knowledge. For an informed user, you might know when they are wrong or right sometimes, but when you see them get it so spectacularly wrong, you wonder what purpose they serve:

Campbell Brown: For those people who have been worried about the possibility of one party controlling Congress and the White House, the last president to do that, of course, was....?

John King: Ah, that was Bill Clinton, and...

Brown: Jimmy Carter! Jimmy Carter had... Bill Clinton had Democrats in the House and in the Senate?

King: Very briefly.

Brown: Very briefly. [Crinkles her nose] Didn't go so well.

King: No it didn't.

You have to be kidding me? The Republicans were in control of the House and Senate just 2 years ago!
