news or twinkies...

blah blah blah... i am sure you have had enough (as have i). who cares, right? after all, nothing matters because there is no truth. everyone is right and everyone is wrong... then why does the media drag it out so? if they are the ones spearheading this existentialist movement, why would they seem to care? ah, now we have arrived at the million dollar question! and it really does have to do with millions of dollars. i do not care from where you get your "news" but i have news for you--it's not real. that is, news today is a product, marketed like twinkies to appeal to the public. the public will not buy the wholesome story of the johnsons saving their neighbors home in the hurricane, but rather the public (mob) wants death! give us gore and give us more! just like rome, we want to see someone slashed beyond recognition! oh the blood, the carnage, it gives me an appetite! who is selling you your news today? how has it been marketed to appeal to you? what has appealed to you? if you cannot come to this realization of this FACT (oh yes, that's right, an absolute--be very scared) then you are blind and i pity your ignorance. news companies own the networks, people! they own the tv shows you love! so, in turn, they sell commercials to be able to air and make money off of their networks. it is really quite simple. news companies pay actors to make sitcoms, etc. for their networks in order to attract crowds to those networks. the advertiser invests based on how many people watch a given show, and then the news company gets their money. in the end, news is a product aimed for unsuspecting you! and for those of you who get your news from some supposedly unbiased or unconnected network or group, such as foxnews or some fringe muslim informative group, you are still stuck with bad news i'm afraid. your "unbiased" group is putting forth news with the idea that everyone else is wrong and that their perspective is correct. oops, there goes the objectivity again. it seems the only way to get your news is to experience it for yourself, or glean from everything (and by everything, i mean a cross cut of all newsgroups, fringe, right wing, left wing, actual transcripts, ap, etc...-not just all of the groups from one perspective) that is said in order to make a well informed decision. good luck on it either way, but know that people like me will call you out when you start professing a companies product as the ultimate truth. and speaking of truth, the existentialists out there should check out my last blog post. cheers.
