We were traveling this last week and listening to radio and watching motel TV. It’s amazing! According to the mainstream media, the only thing going on is the presidential race. It’s a non-issue, as Obama has been ordained for a second term. He’s been a good servant.
But the phony race is used to fill up air time. We don’t get real news, but supposed journalists are doing their job if they are doing the back-and-forth that horse-race reporting requires.
I could assert that this is by design, but I think it’s more by default. American journalism is dead, and reporters are not allowed to go near or report on real news. So they fall back on those stories they know will please management, D v R, sound and fury signifying nothing.
It’s stone-cold Soviet, gray and lifeless. We are brain-dead.
