You’ve pointed out many of the reasons I gave up watching television news eight years ago. I now access credible news sites & articles online. At least that way, I’ve a better chance of reading and seeing more of what is going on worldwide without being assaulted by snide, backstabbing, hypocritical, self-serving news entertainers. The “low information” people are not only couch potatoes, but they’re also the ones you discussed who are allegedly providing “coverage.” Kudos on your observations!

I mean, it’s like being in another reality. And they say I’m crazy. And since the world I see around me is so dramatically different from what they perceive, I am completely unable to explain myself half the time when discussing ideas about things.
I’m really not here to say I’m smart and they’re stupid. Because they’re not stupid. But the respect doesn’t go both ways.

It really doesn’t.

That’s the problem.

First – “straining to the point of hernia” made me laugh out loud. Second, if you’ve ever watched Mad Men, they have started to make their commercials match the show – same clothing, same lighting, same cutaway speeds, etc. It pissed me off when I saw it. The whole show is a commercial anyway – do you really need to use the show to influence buyers even more?

Lastly, for many years now, I have called the news “Speculation TV.” I’ve noticed that a lot of the coverage isn’t even covering anything except the panel’s views on what might have happened or could happen in the future. Any thoughts on that?
