Kill Your TV
No wonder we are so collectively stupid
....TV is evil. It is pernicious, vile, creepy, stupid, annoying, abusive, divisive, dangerous, devious, and dumb, dumb, oh so proudly dumb....
For example, on the night of the hurricane, rather than focus on the unfolding human tragedy -- and this will be as devastating, in sheer human toll, as any natural disaster in American history -- the freaks on cable news were concentrating on "looters" (read: black people getting supplies to feed families because our president, the most unpopular in modern times, is on permanent vacation, has sent the National Guard needed to monitor and manage this catastrophe off to die in an illegal war in Iraq, and he is "getting on with my life"). These correspondents were posed so that their perfect hair was mussed by the wind, to demonstrate how they were putting their lives in danger, and they were talking about, oh .... uh ... how this "wasn't a direct hit" and "it wasn't as bad as it could have been." Are you shitting me? This was hell on earth, as devastating as that tsunami all the Republican politicians wanted to use as a backdrop for compassionate conservative photo opps.
