Damn, this is all they could come up with for news?

The media just keeps getting lower and lower. They cover the tsunami for a week because the body count kept rising. Now they cover this with the same voracity. As if the stories are of equal importance. All this country seems to need with the media is a body count, and that's just sad.

I've never been to California. I never will go to California. That story is just unimportant and has no impact on anyone outside of that small California town. Oh the people they know. So because someone in New Mexico might know someone from that town that is reason enough to publish it around the country so fucking far that I'm reading about it in Lowell Massachusetts?

Why aren't there stories about things that actually matter? Everything you see on the news is propaganda. Stories written by different newspapers or different news channels have different people with different biases so even after the government synthesises it all so it's politically correct and in line with the republican agenda you still have to filter it through any one particular stations personal biases.

I won't seek out television again as long as I live.
