This is just the tip on the iceberg in my opinion. The "news" media in
this country is in a VERY sorry state and is I would say dangerous to
the public. Their "anchors" are people that simply read from a
teleprompter and are presented as plasticized mannequins with abnormally
white teeth that are much more important than any "news." This dental
work gives no more credence to the words, no doubt written for them,
they read. It is in fact a symbol of the incredibly over polished
reality they present - a world akin to bad poetry, theme parks, or
anything that effectively removes a person from reality. As it becomes
more and more difficult to make profit in this area it will no doubt get
worse - to the detriment of society as a whole. What a waist of a
medium that could truly educate and inform - and keep a country healthy
- as our own immune system (when it works properly) does for us.
