The media in this country distorts the hell out of everything. For example, look at the way they treat 2004 presidential candidate Howard Dean. Dean is an intellectual left winger from the north, and he believes in "immediate, fundamental changes", plus taking money away from soulless corporations and giving it back to *gasp* the poverty stricken. But you wont hear any of that on the news. Why? All you hear about is how Dean kind of went ape shit for a few seconds during a speech. Hell, he was angry. It's kind of nice to see some emotion from a politician once in awhile, you know? Yet they rub this little incidents feces all over the news. A similar incident occured in the 2000 election (motto: lets give Florida back to Spain), in which Senator John McCain totally lost it during a speech. He said something along the lines of, "there are alot of people against us, but were gonna fight back, and were gonna kill 'em!" But you have to turn to Michael Moore's seldom watched but nonetheless hilarious former PBS show "The Awful Truth" to find that footage. Why? Because McCain is a conservative Republican. Who fought in 'Nam. Guess what? So did John Kerry. The media has it's priorities set straight. I rest my case.
Another thing I cant stand is the sports media and their bitter envy of athletes. I really cant stand this crap. You ever see after a major sporting event? This is when the sports media is at its backstabbing best. A flock of reporters always storm into the losing teams' locker room and asks the players something along the lines of, "how does it feel?" The athletes always try to be polite by saying things like "Well, its tough, we didnt come to play, etc.", when in reality their thinking, "how do you think it feels, you materialistic pile of clothing?" They ask these questions to piss athletes off and get a rise out of them, and if they do that, it means more publicity for the leech infested media, and THAT means they laugh all the way to the bank.
That being said, these guys will do ANYTHING for a story, sometimes referred to as "money." A reporter will be standing in the middle of a live tornado, getting hit in the head of flying debris, and he'll still try to utter the words, "back to you in the studio, Jim!" Then, when a stray table leg or domestic animal clocks him in the head and he's knocked unconscious, the rest of the buffoons in the studio will call it a "tragic happening". This could have been avoided if this reporter had put common sense ahead of making money. Stay the hell home! I think if theres a tornado about to hit your house, you might notice it without media aid. I know my hypothesis' are radical, but I think you should trust me on this one.
