I know we say it a lot, but geeze, our media is worthless. Worse than worthless, even.

In the build-up to the DemDebate tonight the language being used by every nooze reader is pretty much the same. Regardless of words, it sounds like the intro to a a football game.

"Big Showdown"

"Sharp Elbows"

"Leadup to the BIG PRIMARIES in two weeks"

We're in the early stages of the uniquely American process of picking a president. Yet all these fuckwads talk about is the fucking ENTERTAINMENT value.

Out of everything, I couldn't believe the salivating that was in exhibit when the US sailors were taken by Iranians in the day of the State of the Union. Disgusting coverage! So of course they will spin out political system all out of shape.

It sure is refreshing. Before it was shit media, and no one fighting back at all. Also, after watching the talk with Cornell West, I'm optimistic that this is going to turn around. We're not stupid after all.
