It's entertainment. Just like Limbaugh. How many times does Limbaugh or O'Reilly or Coulter stretch the truth and it gets taken as fact?
Both sides (the MMs and the Limbaughs) work hard at character assassination and the media licks their lips and thrives on it... who cares about the true fucking issues when you can have entertainment tell you how to vote and think.
Jesus, fucking stop on MM already, I'm tired of hearing the GOP and all these "holier than thou's" trying to make more of it than it is.
Ray Davies of the KINKS actually wrote a good ending to my rant so lifting from the song Entertainment (from the album UK JIVE) I end on this note:
==========================
"There's been another assassination
T.V. cameras moving in.
To shoot the bloodstains on the pavement
And get them on the News at Ten.
Will he live or will he die, before we go on the air?
Yes, the networks are all there, in the name of
Entertainment.
Superstar psycho, from a killer to a hero,
An overnight sensation on the lips of all the nation
Is he mad or is he sane? It makes for good conversation
I call it suffering and pain, but they call it entertainment
Sex violence murder and rape. (Entertainment Entertainment)
That's what you came for, that's what you pay for.
Entertainment, Entertainment.
They call it Entertainment
Inform us, educate us with your media machine
(Call it Entertainment)
Tell me what to dream
(Call it Entertainment)
You pay your money, what do you get?
Entertainment.
Real life for Entertainment,
Cheapens my reality,
So that Hollywood can make it into another "B" movie
The vultures get the rating and the people get the thrills
But the victims always pay, I guess they always will.
Sex violence murder and rape (Entertainment Entertainment)
That's what you want, that's what they need,
That's what you came for, that's what your paying for.
They call it Entertainment (Call it Entertainment)
Inform us, educate us with your media machine,
(Call it Entertainment)
Tell me what to dream
(Call it Entertainment)
You pay your money, what do you get?
Entertainment, Entertainment. "
God help us we are becoming that. Educated and told how to think by the media.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
