They serve no other purpose than making sure everything stays the same.

What a joke.

4. I certainly appreciate your angst. Many people have no idea...

about how it used to be before Reagan and Rush, and for that matter, before Lennon was killed to in affect usher in this era. I mention Lennon as he had the ability to announce a press conference and get as much attention as a president, only he really did inspire people. edit: not to say that Obama is not inspiring. It's just different.

The current state of the media is officially "normal". And that is really, really tragic.

8. When people decide to turn off the media
Let them talk to dead air and they will die off.
