Letting off steam: The suckiness of the MSM news
I haven't voluntarily watched it in my own home for a dozen years upwards now, and only see it in glimpses when I'm a captive audience someplace else. Those times I do make me despise it all the more for it's flashy banality and arrogant spoon-feeding.
Well this time I had an epiphany of sorts: A few of us were on "hot standby" yesterday in the breakroom at work, and various people were flipping all over the TV set there. I noticed when they had BBC news and Al Jazeera, the coverage was very varied and didn't focus on any one issue or region. I came back in and someone switched to CNN: Holy shitcakes! It may as well be the Trump channel. I mean it was nonstop Trump/Palin in all this provocative horse-race style blather. I was so dismayed; appalled even.
I now see why why so many voters here in the US are low-information dolts.
That is all. Thanks for hearing my vent.
