Better media, please?

We got serious things happening, folks. Serious things. Record numbers of people on food stamps. Record numbers of foreclosures and evictions. Banks collapsing. People losing their jobs. Serious things.

So what is the press and blogosphere all atwitter about today? Well, apparently... over whether a Presidential candidate sneaks smokes from time to time.

WTF?!

  1. I didn't catch that news. And I don't care.

  2. We hit the 4,000 mark of dead soldiers in Iraq with barely a mention from the major media news outlets. To them, our soldiers aren't even numbers. They are barely abstractions.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
