I was in the bank on Thursday where the propaganda machine television goes all day to keep the folk happy and sedated, I guess. And what’s CNN reporting on? With grim seriousness and “on location” urgency they’ve got Britney Spears and her hospital stay.

Cable news has really become a national embarrassment. Here’s an idea: Shut the freaking thing off. Nothing would be better than a few million people putting commercial media on “ignore” to send a message.
