News!! Print, Media, and The Net

Greetings and salutations!
I have almost completely "weened" myself from the large and enticing, but ever growing and ominous teat that is Google. Browser has changed, e-mail is in process, and I have found other places to glean images and the like. If you can't comprehend why, or you still think it's just the "do no evil",their own words, big fluffy friend that has all the answers, then have a look at this...
If your attention span is that of a gnat, email me. I send ya' the PDF. This is part of an ongoing story and I digress.
The actual premise of today's meanderings is that of the news sites I have encountered, and my continued belief that society is coughing up sputum from the More, Better, Faster, Shinier Virus it has contracted.
Perusing some of these "news" sites makes me ill!! Even from the likes of the BBC, Washington Post, New York Times, etc,etc. Actual news that can be informative, thought provoking, and that might even convince me that I'm not being lied to.... About 30%. That's being generous!!
The rest... ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT!! Don't believe me? Check out The L.A. Times. This is the fucking front page!! Check out as many others as you care to. The BBC is probably the closest thing to news that I remember.
Television, rrrrrh, I don't even wanna get started on that worthless medium!! The only thing I can discern as news on that shit is traffic, and to a much lesser extent weather. An even lesser extent may be news of missiles heading our way!
Have our attention spans really gotten down to 3 second sound bites, Beer Summits, and which celebrity is doing whatever the fuck those people do?! Plastic! We love it!! We love it so much, when Dow came out with the shit, it wasn't long after we had to start living it, consuming it, being it.
My moniker fits me, with good reason! If others were to take the blinders off and smell the turd, and not recoil back into Plastic World; to really look at what is going on around them, we may be in a much better spot. How does everybody think we get into the messes of the variety we are in now?
Want an answer?? COMPLACENCY!!!!!! Power loves that shit. What's on the news is only a symbol people. Are you too busy being mind-fucked by your bag of MSG laden chips and your NutriSweet fortified cola? "It's all the good stuff, so you won't fight so much"!!
Back to Dreamland....
