David: Mr. Robot

The first time I heard about LOST, I said it was stupid. This was at the height of Survivor popularity, and I was cynical enough to see the show as a cash in on the premise of strangers on an uncharted island. Then season 2 came around, and the previews didn’t look like a lame drama, but a suspenseful mystery. I was hooked episode to episode for the remainder of the run.

No other show has captured me like that until Mr. Robot.

I won’t say much for those that haven’t seen it, but it plays with its format in clever ways, is very cinematic, and doesn’t shy from recognizing its influences. Season 4 just surprised me by showing up on my DVR, and I can’t wait to see how this thing wraps up.

...that Dick "The Kid" Cheney (we call him "The Kid" 'cause he shot that guy) was a very corrupt vice president. We are looking into his and his family's dealings with foreign energy interests.

David: CNN Annoys Me

I've been running cable news in the background here lately. I try to flip around every hour or so, usually trying to ping pong between Fox News and CNN or MSNBC.

Fox News is ridiculously one-sided. It's almost comical the lengths they'll go to ignoring facts and pushing illogical leaps.

The same is true of CNN. I'm more annoyed with them, because the facts are generally on their side (and they definitely have a side). Embellishing just weakens their position and gives the opposition a foil.

Also, whoever there thinks saying "All the President's Men" every 5 seconds is clever should know, it's not.

One of my morning rituals is to say, "Alexa, play my news". She then gives me the top NPR and AP stories. The NPR reporting is factual, concise, and fairly unemotional. The AP reporting then starts with great fanfare and over-emoted reads.

I wish more news was like NPR.
