I think one of the upshots to this whole thing where we've learned the Press was nothing but bootlicking lickspittles who walked away from their responsibilities to ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS.

I will say that I can tell the difference between television watchers and myself. People that rely on few news sources or broadcast media believe the world is a different place than what it is. They are often uninformed or ill informed.

While I've agreed with a great many of your posts, this is hands down the one I agree with the most.

The ''TV watchers'' as I call them, are the most intellectually lazy people on his planet. They exist only to be controlled /constrained through that passive lens /medium we know as mainstream /corporate news. They also live to ''parrot'', never ever understanding a particular philosophy that propels that ideology forward. Yes.... I definitely believe the  ''TV watchers'', are /will-be the downfall of this country.

i couldn't disagree more with the two of you.  i always watch news either locally, nationally, CNN, or MSNBC.  i feel like i am very up to date with what is going on in the world and as to the reality of the facts.  i have the news on from the time i get home from work til when i go to bed.
