American Idol and networks in general

Yeah, I know, a lot of things irritate me. Now it's network TV too.

The nightly news on our local Fox station is just a big huge AD for American Idol! I'm sorry to let everyone know that American Idol isn't news! Yeah, Simon's comments are pretty funny, but that's entertainment, not "breaking news". Good grief...

And Carrie Underwood's music as well. She's got good pipes, no denying that, but it's COUNTRY! Yeah, I know that too...I'm a conservative and I live in Oklahoma so I should like that stuff, but I don't. Instead of Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Gretchen (gag) Wilson, I prefer Avenged Sevenfold, Demon Hunter and Thousand Foot Crutch.

Getting back to the subject of network TV, I've noticed that Jay Leno, for example, will usually only have guests on that promote some TV show on MSNBC, and David (gag) Letterman only those on CBS. So what is this, a big ad system or what?
