People need to be told "who what when where and why" with a catastrophe in order to move off their couches, it seems. <BR/><BR/>"I say to the people who work for me, don't just come to me with a problem, give me a solution."<BR/><BR/>Anon, the above comment says it all and yes, political news has morphed into reality TV for the groupthinky.

Hell, throw in the buyers, too. Bring on the cattle call.<BR/><BR/>It is a bleak statement of our society to see what's passing for news and commentary turn into a wasteful cross between (as stated) "Entertainment Tonight" and "What's My Line." You know that this media programming is only produced by and for a mutual admiration society of selected "talking heads" and "guests" to keep the dumb numb while they fleece the sheep.<BR/><BR/>Like I say to the people who work for me, don't just come to me with a problem, give me a solution. This writer offers nothing more than a "clinging to guns and religion" superiority attitude that neatly places himself above those lowly potential book consumers. I'm not buying any of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-91097243531228248452008-07-17T05:44:00.000-07:002008-07-17T05:44:00.000-07:00The Public to Big Business interests and Politicia...The Public to Big Business interests and Politicians: We're mad as hell and ... shoot, just give us more of the same.Citizen Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481323943813270047noreply@blogger.com
