celebrity fights

Okay so, now let's talk about the TV news for moment. We also have celebrities which are newscasters, and we tend to put them on a pedestal, and even the major news networks attempt to make them into sex symbols. They figure that we will watch a pretty face, and trusted news source because of who is reading the lines from the Teleprompter. Indeed, if we put these celebrities, the new celebrities on a pedestal, then in the way we deserve them. In other words, we deserve to be fed nonsense on the news, and allow our minds to melt to the whims of those who run the media.

One thing I find quite interesting during the political season is that the news folks and commentators often talk to each other about what they think about the political happenings. In doing so they are not giving us the news, they are giving us their opinion, and since they've been made into semi-superstars by the news stations, we tend to trust them, and therefore trust their opinion. What's that famous line; "he who owns the media, controls the minds of the people," and unfortunately not only is that true, but I'd say it's getting worse.

Just because someone is good-looking, and can flawlessly read a Teleprompter, doesn't mean they know what they're talking about, or that we should trust their opinion. Nevertheless, they are giving us their opinion whether we like it or not, and we must realize that opinions are not unbiased news. Unfortunately, it appears that far too many people don't see it this way, but I would submit to you that more should. We have quite a problem brewing, and we need to take care of it.
