We cannot rely on the media to tell us the truth or keep us informed of things that matter.



This is not a political post. (It's indirectly related.)

I find it insulting that CNN, a major US news broadcaster, finds it appropriate to even print a story about a mother hiding the death of a guinea pig from her son. (AND that this link made it to the front page of digg.com, which is now becoming exceptionally useless after the election). CNN is nothing more than a trashy tabloid at this point in time.

America, listen to me. The mainstream media is not here to make your life better or keep you informed. Its purpose is to distract you and lull you into complacency while your liberties and financial fortunes are being robbed. We cannot rely on a news agency that deems it fit to distract us with non-sense.

The truth is always so much deeper than what the media reports. Liberty, freedom, and sanity depend on Americans knowing where to get real news. CNN, as far as I am concerned, is the enemy.

Americans ARE stupid. We let ourselves get this way and, more importantly (and frightening), a lot of us want to stay this way. CNN could not exist were it not for a legitimate market demand for its content. Obama will not fix our problems and keep us in stupid-happy land, and listening to CNN will not get us out of stupid-happy land.

It is critical that you REJECT CNN as a source of information for ANYTHING. The same goes for FOX, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNBC, and even Bloomberg. Our government has pissed through trillions of dollars in just the past 6 months and CNN is reporting on a guinea pig.
