The First Offensive! It has happened!

[Dani]

When the first news was broadcast over a radio wave, when the first news was recorded on a newsreel, the end of news as information and the beginning of news as entertainment was decreed.  There is no going back.  Man's climb from the pit of ignorance was stopped ;)

You're so right. And it's so sad. :/
It's even worse that I let it bother myself. To try and hope for a turn to the better. Maybe it's dumb and Quixotic.
Life in some isolated cabin is beginning to sound more and more attractive, but then I bet that sooner or later someone in the media would decide that all the people living "away from civilization" are a threat to McSociety ;)
