24. It was illegal for Clinton which was supposed to tell us he was immoral
Edited on Thu May-20-10 07:51 PM by Tsiyu

but apparently the same media - that hounded him about his lies - don't have any trouble spewing out gazillions of lies of their own. And still claim moral superiority...:wtf:

It's all about the $$$$ Baby

If you look at newsreaders (and that's all the hell they are) as merely highly polished salesmen and saleswomen hacking for their Corporate bosses, you won't be bothered by them so much, because you will turn them off.


You wouldn't let the saleswoman at the Clinique counter hang out at your house all day trying to sell you lipgloss, would you? You wouldn't let Joe Blow at the local Ford dealership sit in your livingroom and try to sell you a Ranger all day, would you? Or let a Jehovah's witness in the front door and lead him to a seat at the dining room table to read from The Watchtower 24/7, would you?

Turning on any corporate news - and that includes NPR these days, sadly - is exactly like letting the corporate saleswhores just hang out at your house. Which is why their lies are so infuriating.

Well, I just turned the crap off, don't have a TV anymore and try to listen to totally local news and get the rest from leads on DU.


They can lie, lie, lie all day and my blood pressure doesn't even notice...



Edit because: I am so frickin loopy after working 70 hours this week, it should be illegal for me to be typing....and thinking on top of that... Hell's Bells
