I had said to Janet, a few days ago, that the only way the news media will let go of bombarding us with CV19 hype and alarmist nonsense, daily, was if another BIG story came along.
Well, that's happened, obviously. This unfortunate man was murdered by a bad cop, right before our eyes, and we see this happening to him, every hour, on the hour.
Predictably, those inclined to riot, after (maybe) being cooped up for a few months, have hit the streets, continuing to spread violence and mayhem, even though the murderer has been arrested.
The media covers every little protest, gives voice to every protester who mugs and mouths off for the camera, covers the family of the murder victim, any time they wish to make a statement. Gee, this can't lead to further incitement of mob violence, right?
This got me thinking why, over the past two decades, or so, the news media has become a one-topic, one-trick pony.
I think it's because of the dumbing down of both the news media and those who stay glued to it. Our education system is a joke, with kids being passed simply to get them out of one grade and into another, even if they're dumber than a box of rocks!
So, we now have dummies on the air reporting to dummies on the couch. Great. Other dummies write easily digestible news stories for the masses, and as long as only one topic is gone over, and over, and over, and........, all dummies are happy! Cool, except for those of us who actually possess higher intellectual capabilities......
