The Media must die.
Or at least take a vacation.

Too many outlets, too much time on their hands and not enough REAL reporting. How can there be enough space to reprint every half-baked rumor and outright lie and yet NO time for investigative journalism. The Media has become purveyors of Spam and news is just processed cheese-food on a cracker. Bad enough that every website I open sings out to me of which third rate former TV star is now arrested for DUI. Bad enough that ‘OctoMom’ can rightly see a meal ticket in giving birth to a basketball team and now I have to feel for her because of the ongoing backlash. BAD ENOUGH even that every program from “Hardball” to “John & Kate Plus Eight” show the Wall Street ticker at the bottom of the screen like some kind of macbre death-watch!

But now the Media demands that I know that all our members of Congress are busy “Twittering” during sessions? And I thought it wasn’t possible to think less of them! What the hell is Twitter anyway? What vile scum created THAT? Why do we care what members of Congress are doing since they are obviously NOT DOING THEIR JOB? Why can’t they just drink like our fore-fathers??!

And I’m a billion miles away from y’all. So my options for news are the icky-gushy, melodramatic brain freeze that is CNN/FOX/MSNBC or the death and destruction of the rest of the world that is Al Jazeera. I could watch even less than I do, but I might miss something.
