Fucking worthless bread and circuses media!

[Generator]

A breaking alert flashing across the screen on ABC (yes I watch the opening of the vapid "View") that Scott Peterson sentenced to death.

Okay-how many people in the country were sentenced to death or life this day, this week..this year??

And it affects my life how????

It's freaking porn death gossip. That's all it is. Salacious and meaningless to my life. ABC news is as relevant to my life as the National Inquirer.

Does what is happening in the Congress TODAY effect my life?? What about an alert about the legislation that could be passing that would effect my pocketbook, my environment??

Never going to happen.

Until we control the information-we will never have any power.

Years of coverage of this one murder. How about something relevant to my life, my children's life, my country's life.

That would be NEWS.

This is death gossip pornography.

Why not CSI all the time instead? It's just as relevant.

Maybe it's true. We are another Empire doomed to dust for our own base natures.

Man kills pregnant wife more important than wars, lies about what got us into wars, future wars, and the looting of our treasury, rape of our environment.

1. I am so fucking depressed

I swear I don't know how much more of this shit I can take-

Drilling in ANWAR, Wolfowitz for World Bank,Bolton to the UN, the Bankruptcy Bill, trading of Mercury credits so they can poison my children, and on and on and on, and all the media talks about is Scott and Michael and Desperate Housewives.

The fucking Republicans are going to leave our children nothing but debt and environmental degradation and poverty and no one is paying attention. What the fuck is wrong with this country! I just can't stand it.

2. Agree completely

And if it's not one woman's murder it's one little boy's molestation that obsesses the so-called "media." Somebody ought to send a fundie sweetie (think Fawn Hall) to D.C. to try and "engage" Chimperor in the Oval ... that's about the only thing that would wake up people up to his gross (ha!) misdeeds. He can lie and lie and scheme and kill and it won't register with the Sheeple unless it has to do with his member or something equally salacious. We are PORNO NATION.

4. And you know what?

If that pregnant woman had been named LaNisha instead of Laci and had been black, no one would have given a shit. And how many kids are molested each day?

What will it take to make people wake up?

3. I was thinking the same about the IRA McCarthy killing

A news conference with Senate leaders and the McCarthy family members over a single grudge killing? How about news conferences for our soldiers everytime someone is killed? I'm no IRA supporter but what is this all about? this corrupt administration goes on and on and on and we stop the presses for Peterson, Jacko and others.
