Turn up the U.S.A. mass media TV/Radio bullshit cannons to Overdrive.

No thanks. I turned off the TV and radio a long time ago, back in the GWB days. My TV is a movie player. That's all it does. There's some stuff on my public radio station I like, but not news. Never news.

Many Original Posts I read here on DU are a mystery to me and I dismiss them as TV or radio noise. If you can't put it in writing, it's worthless.

I think there is some flaw in human rationality that we think stuff we see on TV or hear on radio is "real." Especially if it's claiming to be news.
