Media Issues
I look at the Drudge Report website (http://www.drudgereport.com/), and all I see is a load of crap. People honestly think this is one of the best websites to get the latest news? Yeah, it's good if you want to know about Michael Jackson or The Da Vinci Code being turned into a movie.
Once more I see proof of how apathetic the general population is.
Lately, I've found that going to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) or the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) websites yield headlines that are more worth of the news than the crap you see on TV. Honestly, people actually FORGOT that Sadaam Hussein was on trial? They FORGOT?
My God! I don't use his name in vain often, but the mood calls for it.
Anyway, we have two strikes against the US in mo Totalitarianism Barometer; Gross use of idealism (War on Terror)and control of the media.
Then again, there is probably good reason for this too--and the population itself is at fault. You see, Journalists go after what people are willing to read. If hearing about how the Dungey character's son committed suicide, then so be it. At least they are getting paid.
I'm just wondering what happened to the integrity that journailsts used to pride themselves on. Is it gone? Do the British and the Canadians have more than their fair share?
Oi. If this society does hit totalitarianism, then I know several people who will be taken out. Also, I'll have to go to google.com.au to get all of this stuff.
What? It by passes the filters at school!
