Media hysteria

School shooting advertising drying up.

Next topic Mayan calendar end of world. Oooops we're still here.

Next topic convict sets fires and shoots firemen. Oooops he was released from prison after less than 20 years in prison for killing his Granny with a hammer. Not enough blood and guts for ratings and advertising dollars.

Next... fiscal cliff...we're all gonna die. Milk the fear factor as long as possible. Speaking of milk no farm bill so will have $7/gal milk. Oh no! We have to piss away more money to subsidize farms.

Howard Beale was right.

I don't get any newspapers. Maybe a couple of free automotive trade journals. We watch the news with one ear closed. I've emailed a couple local tv stations bitching about the amount of advertising and crap at the bottom of the picture. One channel routinely has nearly 30% of the picture gone due to ticker tape bs.

Blood sells, controversy sells. If people quit buying the products of the supporters it might get better.

I really dislike the entertainment gossip programs that come on after the news at 7pm. My gawd what trash. Who really cares what gutter Lindsay passed out in or which Idol judge is pissed at the other one. And lets please ship Piers Morgan back to England.
