18. We, the people, DO give a fuck, the corporate media is obviously punching us in the face about how they do not.

No problem, go ahead, give a big flying fuck about a football and a snowstorm and a scary virus and
ISIS at the border, but quit fucking obsessing about it and start obsessing on what is a tad more important.

Apparently it is too fucking much to ask the media to cool it with distractions and fear and circuses, but the media always asks the same question and wants to know - "are you not entertained"? Are you not soothed by not having to think about real things that make you afraid? Just tune in some more to the MSM for fears that are not real or matter much, just so you can ignore the fears that are real and matter a lot.

Are you not grateful? Are you not entertained?

As if the MSM would give a shit about it sakabatou Jan 2015 #1
