Whether it’s Katie Couric’s face front and center with tears streaming down her rosy cheeks after learning that she is dead last in Nielson ratings, or the fawning reporter’s continuing love affair with BO (Barak Obama for first timers); the MSM is continuing to lose any remaining credibility. I consider the MSM to be the nightly news, (ABC, CBS, NBC), most daily newspapers, and websites belonging to said networks. Most of you know I’m a news junkie and often surf MSM sites as well as other sites (Drudgereport.com, Foxnews.com theamericanthinker.com, etc). Today during one of my surfing expeditions, it occurred to me that the MSM (eg. ABCnews.com) touts perverted and sick stories disguised as news. Most MSM stresses and highlights news which caters to our society’s sensuous appetite. At 4pm today, here were the main headlines at ABCnews.com.
“Pregnant man gives birth to baby boy” with a joyous Barbara Walters near tears devoutly looking on with approval,
“Carradine death due to erotic asphyxiation,”
“Adam “guy liner” (my insert) Lambert is gay”
“Britney Spears bears all,”
“Gosselins (Reality TV family in case you’re not up to speed with reality shows) mistreats family pups.
Instead of being buried somewhere deep on page 400 where they belonged, they represent the lead stories. In comparison, CNN featured the Pakistani car bombing, and FOX News featured the Gitmo story, deficit spending, a Wisconsin hunting law barring 8 yr olds from hunting with a fire arm, and references to the Pakistani car bomb.
Sensational stories are attractive to people and lure them in but is it any wonder that pornography addiction is rampant and relationships are stressed to the limit because of lusts and prurient interests? Look again at the ABC News headlines. This doesn’t even take in consideration the daytime trash and filth that fill the TV airwaves from 9 am to 5 pm. Well, now that I think about it, from 7-11 pm as well. Can you name a single sit-com that doesn’t use sex to base their story line on?
So what? I’m trying to be more selective with what catches my attention during my internet surfing. The only TV “show” I enjoy is HOUSE and even they have now built a story around the lesbian resident physician. MSM is almost as bad as X rated sites in terms of filling hearts and minds with pure junk. Trash in, trash out. Read a good book lately?
