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.

In their defense, farglebargle, too many people failed to demand the media do their job as the Fourth Estate.

If People dont ask follow up questions, why the hell should the media?

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.
