Journal zappepcs's Journal: News and the Internets 1
I would like to take a moment, a small bit of my life that I will never get back, to throw accolades on Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. By the way, Julie Moult is an idiot http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=julie+moult&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= and nothing more need be said about her. Some people don't understand the world as it is, she is one such person. Oh well.
Back on topic, and I'm not going to link to comedy central sites, you can find them on your own. Lazy bastards. The USA finds itself in both a war (more on that in a minute) and an election. In the middle of the fodder that these two provide for the news services, most of the Main Stream Media (MSM) find it necessary to parrot the party line, or in simpler words, echo what words they can when the republican cock is not deep in their throats. This brings me to my point this morning. I want to thank Jon and Stephen for not only doing their own thing, but doing it in spite of the MSM and partisan politics. They have parroted the MSM and politics for laughs but in doing so have become the one source of unbiased news. I don't think any science fiction author could have predicted this. In their wanton willingness to parody, they have become the only source of unbiased news. They are willing to call a spade a trump card when it works.
Yesterday, it was reported that Jon Stewart chided the print media for not doing their job. Let that fucking sink in folks. Jon fucking Stewart is berating print media for NOT DOING THEIR FUCKING JOB. Did that sink in yet? A gaddamnit comedian is able to seriously tell them what they should be doing. Why? Because he does it better than they do. Holy shit batman, say that again? A fucking comedian is doing a better job of reporting the news than the print media is!! Okay, weakling, here's a link http://blog.indecision2008.com/2008/08/26/breakfast-with-jon-stewart-part-two/
Now, why have I dedicated time from my life and space in my holy journal? I have done so because I can't fucking believe that life is as ridiculous as it is. A comedian is more serious about honest news than the MSM. He's better at reporting too. No wonder the world hates the USA. We're one big bad joke. Comedians report the news. Our MSM is a joke. The government is full of jokers and criminals. If there was a god, I'm sure that the USA would make a good example, just come down and destroy it, show the world you mean business. Sadly, no, this joke will keep going until it crumbles under it's own weight.
No, I don't hate America, but I find it incredibly sad that comedians are more responsible than our news services. Everything seems upsidedown here. If Jon and Stephen were not here, it would be MUCH worse. Thank you Jon, Thank you Stephen, for laughing in the middle of the biggest, saddest joke ever. More than that, thank you for trying to show America and the world what really matters.
Thanks for this (Score:2)
You vent - and rightly so.
