This is a really horrible thing to say, but given the "anonymity" of internet chat rooms, I'll say it: It would be really fun to see more people get diagnosed with Ebola and for there to be an Ebola scare in the U.S. As long as I don't get Ebola, lol.

An Ebola outbreak would make things more interesting. The news would be more entertaining. People would be on pins and needles looking at maps and outbreak charts. CNN would have some great interviews with experts weighing in on the issue, and news alerts would pour in every few minutes...

This may eerily seem like a post I made on anontalk in 2008...

No, the news alerts would be flooding in.

Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room would be reading out reports:

"We have a report that there has been another confirmed case of Ebola..."

I love CNN

I love the news. What's your favorite news station or news source? What's the Sprite equivalent of news? PBS?

KCNA/KCTV.

North Koreans have an over-the-top rhetorical style that's hard not to be compelled by.

LOL. Where do you get the news feed for North Korean News? I have downloaded a ton of foreign language radios on my smartphone. I even downloaded a Chechen radio app after the Boston bombings in 2013.

You use minichan for your news source? What are you smoking? Why don't you use 420chan as a news source? Hopefully all the weed won't delay reporting.

It was President Bush circa 2002, its funny though technically has a proper usage.

Search shortwave radio co-ordinates for Voice of Korea in English. Unfortunately there is no app and the south Korean government took down all of the websites there-hosted that had relayed KCNA streams from the north. I think one sattelite carrier (again requires self-installation which is not an easy task; I'd actually like it if I knew Syntax irl for this reason) carries the KCTV station; reuploads are frequent at http://youtube.com/rodrigorojo1 and http://youtube.com/stimmekoreas
