wtf happened? it's such garbage now.. the stupid lawyer broad posing for playboy got about 5 mins of coverage.. and a volcano eruption got 15 seconds.. granted looking at lawyer with tatas the size of beach balls is nice.. it's not news.. uggggggggggg..

maybe i'm just getting old..

Yup, has nothing to do with unslanted news or journalism.

hey joe
no way
not so fast.... the media in the USA can't get off scott free

the media is even getting to me....lately

now they pepper you with the same advertisement twice in a row
trying to brainwash it into you...(thats as bad as subliminal advertising)

they spend countless millions advertising crap while people go hungry
freeze to death, have their homes taken from them all the time
pretending to be the politically correct voice of America....

they are certainly not my voice nor do they voice my opinions
even though they actually think they are...

they make me totally sick

Notice: this message was not intended to infuriate anyone except the friggan media moguls
who are corrupting the entertainment value of what we know as television

It's worse that subliminal advertising, it's insulting to our intelligence. It also shows that they think that they've won their psycological war against the people. Pay attention, you'll see attacks every second that the idiot tube is on. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're lame.

An edit: The effectiveness of advertising is being shown today in defaults in credit cards and mortgages. They sell, sell, sell. you're less than human if you don't have one of these latest gizmos. It's expensive, so your friends and neighbors will be impressed, you know you will be. Borrow the money at outrageous interest rates. Your job gets replaced by an illegal or sent overseas and presto you're in default. Times millions of slobs just like yourself. Citibank got nutted today, by guess who-Citibank. Brace yourselves and watch out for snake oil salesmen.
