  • We have the dollar tanking in value -- which means that EVERYONE gets robbed from as inflation soars into double-digits -- and how do they distract people?

    Let's see how many stories on CNN are worth ONE SECOND of our time...

    The lead story on CNN?  "Thousands march in support of 6 black people who beat up a white person"

    # Youssif in surgery for face repairs 57 min
    # Al Qaeda to declare war on Musharraf 31 min
    # U.S.: Iranian commando nabbed in Iraq 48 min

    # Agriculture secretary resigning
    # U.S. ship takes free care to Latin America Video
    # CNNMoney: Bernanke: Subprime solution is risky
    # McCanns say DNA likely from pjs, diapers Video
    # Ticker: Clinton says Cheney is 'Darth Vader'
    # CNN Heroes: Shoppers aid crash victims 57 min
    # WPLG: Fire debris searched for victims
    # The O.J. Simpson sideshow is back 47 min
    # WFTV: McDonald's shake mistake causes stir
    # Photos show gleeful nαzιs at Auschwitz Video
    # Oprah asks Justin about Britney
    # Sperm ban limits blond, blue-eyed donors Video


    We have a bunch of unabashed distractions, a few "feel good" human interest stories, mixed with a couple of "drum-beat to war" anti-Iran propaganda stories.

    They're trying to distract people from the real stories -- AT ALL COSTS.

  • Oh, Chant, they are just going after the almighty dollar.  They know what sells, namely mental junk food.  Unless I am mistaken there are two things that get hits on this forum:  controversy and frivolity or news light.  They say newspapers are written at a third grade level and I would have to say that is because Americans read on a third grade level.  And I believe that they think on a protozoan level.   :read-paper:
