... the way information is swizzled by the mainstream media here in the US is embarassingly shallow and geared more for "infotainment" than anything else.
The misrepresentation and generalization that takes place in today's media is absolutely shameless.
It's worse than that, my friend. They are trying to sway public opinion and bring about social change. From my perspective as a former newspaper man, I think they're all trying to 'dumb-down' the population. This will make them easy, weak minded targets for the liberal socialist movement. "Trust us, vote for us. We'll take care of you.".
