ADHD in the Media
Today's mass
mediacs have real or
learned ADHD. Compare frenetic delivery of today's media
teleliars rapidly
reading their teleprompters with the measured delivery of the Murrow boys
or cockpit Yeagerites. The shift to entertainment delivery is another sign
of the media's
dumbing down
where the medium is the message, that is, don't give them time to think so
the soma of something-for-nothing feels warm and fuzzy.

Dumbing Down
The "medium is the message" which requires TV to dumb down of the
content in order to attract the ever dumber viewer. With the expansion
of channels, the content cannot be filled with expensive up-to-the-minute
education to live shows. Prime examples are the self-dumbing down over time
by Rush Limpballs ("Sluts") and Sarah/Bristol Palin ("Africa is a country").
Sports announcers have bastardized the English language to make
something-out-of-nothing, a bunch of over-paid scumnuts dumbing down humanity
in the face of global dying. Because of TV soundbyting, politics has
become so dumb that Presidential candidates talk about it being dumb to get
an education, e.g., Ayatollah Sanatarium. Top

Free speech
Free speech , like any right, only exists when the speech solves or
prevents a time-wasting problem so as to free people from the problem.
Free speech is not media lazy faire. Top

Financial Hucksters
Financial huckters are celebrities who sell out the middle-class by
appearing in ads promoting Wall Stealers, e.g., Sam Waterson and Tommy Lee
Jones. By lending their celebrity to financial lies, they are furthering
the false faith that workers have in decapitalism. Top

Infomercials
Media posting "this station is not responsible for ..." and then
broadcasting cancerous videos is like a person claiming to be a non-racists
and then handing the megaphone to a racists. Top

Mediacs
Media Maniacs entertain us to death rather than educate us to live.
They are guility of not knowing the difference between freedom of speech
and fostering igknowance . Mediacs are on idiotic media, thus, a double
curse upon humanity and earth. Examples are sportscasters and reality actors.
Anyone working for or appearing on Entertainment Tonight are mediacs distracting
humanity from the work of saving life on earth. Top

Medium As Message
Media cannot help itself. As it dumbs down the viewership, it must
dumb itself down further to keep the viewers . A kiss must eventually
become fornication, a slab must become a stab. With the expansion of channels,
the content cannot be filled with expensive up-to-the-minute "education to
live" shows. News is not new as old stories are recycled. Worse is how news
personalities become the raison d'etre. Top

with "exclusives," especially with no-essential information.
