It's amazing what the media passes on to us as "news" these days.
I've been watching AlJazeera America lately and I'm seeing things going on in the world that are REALLY bad, and not even a whisper of it on CNN or Fox News or MSNBC or CBS or NBC or ABC.
Watching this morning about what's going on in Central Africa Republic. Horrible.
And immigrants being treated like they are in concentration camps in Italy.
And oh yeah...anybody remember that war in Syria that Obama and the press made THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD a few months back?
It's still happening. And the Syrian govt. has been dropping "Barrel Bombs" (barrels FULL of exposives) on a town there for 4 straight days.
And that's just a tiny part of what's going on in the world.
But watching our "National News" channels? You wouldn't know shit.
CNN, MSNBC, FNC, ABC, CBS, and NBC are like some local news channel with "folksie" stories and nonsense that used to only be found on the National Enquirer at the grocery store checkout.
Obama tweaking Putin by naming Billy Jean King to the Olympics....fucking stupid. And part of the reason our country is so goddamned ignorant.
