I have an odd ritual for my mornings. I start with some delicious coffee with much foo foo creamer and turn on the television to Fox News & Friends. Yikes! I know, what semi-educated person in their right mind would subject themself to such garbage? Well, it wakes me up! I sit here watching their horribly slanted opinion and it causes me to yell back at the television and gets my blood a pumping.
Also, the other morning news programs are just as irritating. CNN is on some short story loop and the local news is really lame. Morning Joe on the other network has that smug asshole whose name I cannot remember. When did "news" become so Jerry Springer?
I do also watch some of the Fox programs just to see what sort of garbage those idiots are spewing into the atmosphere and I believe their programming is having a dangerous effect on the small minded people in America. It is stirring them up into action without solid reason and based on lies and fear.
Case in point. Rachel Maddow was in Alaska and briefly interviewed some Joe Miller supporters. One theme among these inbreds was that Obama was against guns! Rachel followed up by asking what policy has Obama supported to demonstrate his stance on guns. None of the teabagging trash knew anything but remained hard in their opinion. All the lies and bullshit fed to them by Beck they gobble up without question. All the conspiracy theories and whack-a-doodle fear tactics these simple take as gospel.
Scarry world we live in where people can be so easily swayed by hate and fear. News is no longer news but has been bought and paid for by the wealthy or corporate america.
