25. I don't watch a lot of TV
but the feelings you describe are exacerbated by our whore media. First of all they are now on the air 24/7, so there is a relentless, hammering, deadening quality to it all. (Yes, I know all one has to do is turn it off, but a lot of people don't or can't.) The whore media endlessly repeat the same talking points, stories & video clips over and over and over (HOW many times did we all see the footage of the planes crashing into the Trade Towers?) Either the whore media are rooting, cheer-leading, misleading & outright-lying for BushCo, or they are diverting the attention of the sheeple masses with systematic saturation coverage of idiotic, pap stories like the groom who disappeared from his cruiseship honeymoon, the missing girl in Aruba, the runaway bride, the Michael Jackson & Scott/Laci trials --- you get the picture.
