Media are a bunch of ‘Monday morning quarterbacks’. They seem to come in variety packs. One group always knows and says what should have been done and much more qualified to fill the office of President than whoever has been elected to the White House.. Another can make up lies faster than truth can be broadcast. There is a non sequitur group which speaks confidently, though totally off the subject and never answers direct questions. However, one of my favorite (for pure entertainment) are the politicians who, when asked a question never answer it, but instead give their campaign speech. The only implement missing is the hook they used to use in old variety shows.
Channel surfers have the greatest chance of getting mind boggled. Being brainwashed by one channel is complicated enough when you mix with the real world, but watching Fox News and MSNBC is enough to have you contacting your psychopharmacologist for a 'fix' or run to your nearest bottle of 'spirits'.
What we need is a graduate school for producers that is mandatory for all media to attend and set down similar rules and standards for all. Well, I must have faith in something, shouldn't I. Right now it is that the media miracle savior is coming.
