Oh Sunday news, you suck

Should be a short one today. Should be.

Firstly. The inquiry into the CIA and their missing tapes. I'm sure we're all shocked that the most pathetic 'intelligence agency' in the world has destroyed evidence of their xenophobic employees beating holy hell out of someone because they 'might be a terrorist' because they have an Arabic last name, wear a turban, or don't believe in God the same way they do. Apparently, so the CIA claim, the tapes were destroyed to 'protect the identity of their agents'. I'm not sure I am quite willing to believe that, you know. I'd not be surprised if they were torturing people, and the tapes were swept under the rug, so to speak.

However, that does say something about the CIA. If they are torturing people, and they know their own government doesn't publically endorse the use of torture, and that no matter how hard you try the truth is going to come out, one way or another, then they'd have the sense to not record it. They may well be bound by law to record interogations. Yet, when they violate human rights, and the law, what good is going to come, for them, from recording them doing so?

The main point of this rant is, albeit not put across yet, the CIA are not particularly intelligent, and to believe they do not torture people is more stubborn, idiotic and pointless than The Sun 'news' paper. I hope someone does launch a full investigation into it, and some balding jackass gets fired and thrown in prison.

The only other thing that struck my interest when I was meandering through todays slow news was a story on the BBC website, and it's about radio. "Digital radio means more stations have the ability to broadcast extra information alongside the audio. But some experts are looking at providing some pretty controversial extra radio content - pictures."

Hold on a minute. Broadcasting images and the god-awful noise that most stations play makes them fucking television stations.Television making the radio a visual experiance makes it television, admitedly shit television, but television all the same. I should qualify that. Shittier television than the current channels.

Whoever is pushing this idea needs to be kicked off the development team, because they're just trying to take credit for what's already been done, broadcasting pictures and noise together. Any radio presenters that think it's a good idea are saying to the world "Hi! I was too stupid or ugly to get a TV show and took a fallback job on the radio hoping someone'd hear me and give me a chatshow!" and people will lose even more respect for you. What little they had in the first place.

Leave radio alone, it's not television, it's radio. Noise and no pictures, we don't need pictures. We already have the option of watching Graham Norton be a completely unfunny douchebag, or Jonathon Ross being a pathetic host, or even a collection of racist stupids on Big Brother, who mostly talk crap, with stupids too mentally devoid for convorsation watching.
