Breaking Wind is Breaking News?

Dear MSNBC,

Everything can't be BREAKING NEWS. Ok? The fact that it's 10 degrees in Syracuse is not BREAKING NEWS. And if every other story is breaking news, then what if something really important happens? What if some real news really breaks? What are you going to call that? I feel that you're abusing your BREAKING NEWS power, MSNBC. I'm sooo tired of being fooled into looking up and reading your liar liar pants on fire headlines across the television, ok? 'Member the story about the Boy Who Cried Wolf? 'Member what happened to him? 'Member? It wasn't pretty.

Thanks.

Anne

PS Ms. Stewart, I know you're trying to be taken seriously as a newscaster, break away from your MTV roots and cloud the fact that you're married to the MSBNC's VP of Programming, but that exhaustive gesturing with the pen every second of every syllable isn't doing it. Maybe suggest that they give you a chair? That standy-uppy newscasting is beat.

PPS If you and your husband get divorced and you get fired, can I have your job?

Well, I guess we can be a little thankful that she hasn't hyphenated her name to Wolf-Stewart yet.

The Alison Stewart interview with Opie & Anthony is the funniest interview I ever saw.

BUT... it's only funny if you are a fan, because it is just full of so many show references that it becomes a total farce. And Ms. Stewart is none the wiser.

Watch it here:
