If, like me, you have come to recognize the inflammatory and derogatory nature of Fox, then are you also confused about WHY we allow them airtime? I am consistently amazed and appalled when I see clips from their antics on youtube.com. Trust me when I say that I would rather roll in cow dung before I actually tuned FOX in on the TV. But still, I just don't get it. The preponderance of propaganda, all backed if not initiated by the highest levels of a corrupt government. WOW, I remember the stories from my childhood about the Kremlin and the KGB. How I never really could understand why the smart Russians didn't do something about it....thinking that there really must be a bunch of dummies in the USSR. And now I sit here in complete stupification, watching it happen, unable to stop it, warring with myself over just how dumb an American I really am. So now, in my lame attempt to ease the self respect of my inner child, I must sincerely apologize to all of the Russians, smart and stupid alike, for years of disrespect and contempt.
That done, I am still contemplating the best way to adjust to the misinformation that has become the standard for our once stunningly adept debate machine, the US Media. I suppose I should become an activist in defense of the Internet...the only information source left, where you can find the truth if you LOOK for it. I have found a promising resource in The American News Project.
