"There's an airhead gap between politicians and journalists and the rest of humanity.
They have not yet connected the world of the internet with their own world; yes, they're aware their internet is the same as ours, but they think they're seeing something we can't see by virtue of who they are. They're privileged. And they're going to remind you of that special privilege every chance they get, which is why you see so many news reports about news reporters." -- The Last Psychiatrist: Osama Bin Laden Has Been Killed

Your Say
Notice the vast improvement in journalism with the explosion of journalist navel-gazing TV shows? Yeah, me neither.
I remember when Pan Am 103 was destroyed and the mainstream media were aghast that one of their crews from some hinterland TV station had been at the airport ticket counter when some sad mother received news that her child had been killed by the terrorist attack. All the media jackals in the vicinity stood their shooting video as the mother descended into an emotional meltdown. The MSM of the day clucked their tongues and used that footage as the very definition of news crews going out of bounds. Now we have whole shows and networks dedicated to bringing you the most personal and private emotional catastrophes imaginable.
Reporter: "How did you feel when you learned your child was put into a wood chipper?"
If you watch TV news you deserve to be confused, angry, and enslaved.
