The burning passion of a thousand flaming suns.

I really hate the mainstream media.

I am embarassed with the kind of foolishness people who dare describe themselves as journalists try to pull.

I love to give examples. For those of you who read CNN there is a feature where nancy grace talks about cold cases. If you've read those in the last couple of weeks you probably noticed a trend. They are all about missing pretty white girls. Generally between the ages of 16-22, 100-120 pounds, big-eyed, clear skinned, pretty white girls.

I guess the only people in this country who ever go missing are the pretty ones.

Whatever happened to using the power of the press for good? To enrich mankind or to encourage virtue in our society? The idea of ratting out the evil politicians so that we can all live in a better society? That all seems to have gone out the window. Now the only thing you'll see if what the media thinks will get the most attention.

I saw an article on CNN about what kind of tuxedo Obama is going to wear. Is that really what needs to be reported on? Really. Seriously. Of all the weighty articles to put on the front page you're putting up a piece about what kind of TUX Obama is going to wear.

As people become more and more addicted to power, pleasure, and prestige (... the years of being under Baptist preachers manifests itself in alliteration of points) the idea of maintaining a standard of virtue seems to go by the way side. Instead of wondering what kind of article will help enlighten people we only see sensational tripe.

Those articles that do try to "enlighten" us are so blatantly slanted towards a particular political philosophy that it isn't even funny. It is depressing.

I wonder how much I would be willing to pay for a service that provided factually accurate news with no spin. I find it incredibly unlikely that such a service will ever appear, but I think I would be willing to pay a good deal for it.
