Should viewing CNN require a prescription?

[HenryBHough]

Consider that CNN is a powerful drug.

The primary drug keeping scores of leftists from abject depression and possible suicide. Yes, there are other drugs (ABC, CBS, NYT for example) that seem somewhat less effective. They DO, however, pose "gateway" risk and users often shift to what they think (to the extent they are allowed by their beloved Democrat Party) is "the real thing".

I argue it should not require a prescription. It apparently IS addictive however it seems to require an underlying character flaw to actually take hold so normal people are not at serious risk.

Prescriptions would require doctor (or psych) visits - the cost to various state free-to-illegals and indigents would overwhelm budgets and the spread of other diseases (frequently accompanying CNN addiction) in waiting rooms could reach epidemic proportion.

I have a low tolerance for BS so I can not watch it for more than 3 min without loading a BB gun.

I usually wear a welding helmet when I watch CNN so I don't get irreversible Eye damage

Yes to the prescription. Double yes to a high dose tranquilizer prior to CNN viewing sessions.

I can sometimes go five if they are being truly pathetically funny.. If they don't make me howl with laughter tho -- they are gone before I Hulk out and damage something.

Guess I don't need a prescription. I know pathetic when I see it.
