This is why I stopped reading/watching the news. There's just no percentage in good news anymore.

ok nim i was gonna say that.. but i thought that might be funny for such a sad thread.. ty for doing that for me
it really does suck that there is so much violence in the world now that that is all that the news media deems worthy to report.. few and far between are the fuzzy warm feeling kind of stories. A sad state im afraid. |

Well ya its the medias job to show you what the real world is like Don't get me wrong, I know the world isn't all happy-shiny like something out of an old 50s TV show. It would be dull if it was. I suppose I just grow weary of the media's focus on all the bad things happening in the world, and never taking much time to focus on the positive.I know, I know -- bad news sells newspapers. Doesn't mean I have to like it. _____________________

We are the peon masses.

"Have you ever watched CNN news for more than 20 hrs a day? I gotta cut that out. It's the most depressing fucking thing you'll ever see man...WAR, FAMINE, DEATH, AIDS, DEPRESSION, RECESSION, HOMELESS. WAR, FAMINE, DEATH, AIDS...Then you look out you're window and it's like *SOUND OF CRICKETS CHIRPING IN THE GRASS*. Where is this shit happening man? Ted Turner is making this shit up. Jane Fonda won't sleep with him so he goes to a typewriter...Click click click...By 2005 we'll all die of AIDS "Read that on air. I don't get laid, no-one gets laid" I'm writing Jane Fonda "Will you fuck this guy so we can get some good news please?" I wanna see a well laid Ted Turner newscast..."Hey it's all gonna work out. Here's sports"......Quote from the late great comedian Bill Hicks, keeping it real from beyond the grave. And it's true. The news is designed to keep you depressed and spiritually weak. That way you're more open to suggestion and manipulation. "Quick honey we gotta buy that latest mobile phone, hi-fi, plasma widescreen tv, car, house cos the guy in the advertisment implied that our life won't be complete without it". It'll sure make us feel better about ourselves after that depressing news programme. Baa, bleat, moo....Yes folks we are the peon masses, a truly bovine culture too scared to think for ourselves lest we be ridiculed for being different. Oh don't get me started on advertising and marketing.

This is how it is people

Well ya its the medias job to show you what the real world is like Sorry Tyler but you're wrong. It's the medias job to tell you the world is worse than it actually is. I have been fortunate to travel all over the world and I can assure you it's a very wonderfull place. So long as most people stay isolated and tuned into the T.V which is the majority of Americans for example, then the more control you're government has over you. Remember the major networks are regulated by the government and paid for by the companies you see advertising on them and as such EVERY major network exists for one goal and one goal only. TO BOMBARD YOU WITH PROPAGANDA AND SELL YOU STUFF. The more depressed you are before they sell you their wares, the bigger the consumers response will be. Capitalism beautifully fucking illustrated. You are free to do as they tell you. |

It'll be nice if prosecutors also rule this as a sexual assault, so that this fuckwad will get his sentence super-sized.
