One of the real problems with people who have regularly scheduled talking shows, is that they have to always say something. Thus when there should have been silence, there is twaddle, and the general intelligence level of the country goes down.

IMHO the damn media should go dark at 10 PM & on again at noon, and even then the ear and eye garbage would still give you a splitting headache.

It is still a good idea that the Trappists have, of keeping a lot of silence.
