11. I believe it says something
about just about everybody and the most basic primitive parts of our brain. I've read some people watch Jerry Springer simply because the dysfunctional people on there make their own lives seem less tragic.

But what I believe it says the most about, are the callous, indifferent, greedy, corporate sociopaths; who own or manage the news and who should know better. They have a powerful tool in their hands which could be used to uplift, unite and or enlighten the American People, thereby making us stronger instead of dividing and tearing us down by trying to appeal to the lowest and most common denominator or as some people refer to it the lizard part of our brains. I believe this is a direct result of their short term thinking, and love of power combined with them making the almighty dollar their deity.

I also believe this is the prime reason they hate the Internet, because it represents the biggest threat to their monopoly on information, not just where we get our information, but the ability to talk among ourselves with out having to go through their corporate approved filter. That drives the control freak owners and managers nuts!

It's like they say garbage in, garbage out and I believe we've only just begun to pay the price for this abuse of the American People's trust as a society by the corporate media.
