I think what's being discussed is exactly what's wrong with the media. It's entertainment, not news. And it's not just o'reilley and rush limbah, it's just about everything. It's natural selection at it's finest. Entertainment such as a wack job presenting sensationalist ideas and scolding everyone that disagrees with him generates profits, unbiased reporting of the fact sand their possible implications is boring and thus generates nothing. Which one survives? The one that provides money to those involved.

All the major news networks are more interesting in playing up controversial sountbites that in reality are meaningless or taken out of context than actually reporting important world events. It was shown by focus groups that americans care more about what ridiculous things jesse jackson says about Obama's genitals than they do about Mougabe slaughtering everyone that doesn't want him to be president. Trump up minor stories about a polygamist ranch, downplay serious human rights issues because they don't draw in the money.

I don't learn jack shit about the presidential candidates stands on issues, philosophical leanings, or plans from watching the news, I have to learn about their views and stances from debates on videogame websites or random blogs. But I can tell you exactly what Jeremiah Wright thinks. The American media sucks it's a joke. John Stewart has more journalistic integrity than all of them and he openly admits his show is a comedy for entertainment purposes.

 

Sorry there are some typos, I've been drinking.

 

Nice post, I actually pretty much agree with it despite the fact that I am happily part of the problem.
