I made the mistake of turning CNN on for a few minutes today. Just long enough to hear that the next segment was on "Sex, Drugs, and Offshore Drilling." ....

This is why I prefer history to current world affairs.

But you know, in a way, current affairs is part of history~

[deeperthanblack]

It is, but only the major events have any historical significance. The current media will speculate and blather about the most inane things to fill time.

[whiteratty]

Mm. The media kind of does what it wants, doesn't it?

[deeperthanblack]

Hn. Exactly. Which is a good thing when keeping those in power honest, but they gossip like fish-wives about celebrities when they're bored.

[whiteratty]

Or, they're trying to brainwash the housewives.

[deeperthanblack]

Nah. The brainwashing comes from those shopping networks. Too much news just makes you brain dead.
