. . . Time Magazine thinks Americans shouldn’t have to process all that challenging stuff. Especially during the “Season of Shopping”. More important things to think about you know.
LOOKING FOR LIFE BEYOND CABLE NEWS AND FINDING THAT RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Here's what we do, but pretend we don't: We privatize the profits and socialize the losses.

Whatever Works

That’s very sad.
Are you guys still in drought?
True … but I wonder how many times the opposite situation exists. Just a contrarian thought.
Not often frank . . . just check the 6:30 network news these days. None of the tough stuff – they hardly ever even meniton the wars.
I’ll vouch for that. Foreign news outlets cover important global news much more often (and in much greater depth) than most American news outlets. Give me BBC News over MSNBC any day.
I watch BBC every night. Only way to see news. (The PBS news hour is good too)
Almost enuff to make me put down my Pottery Barn catalog.
Wow. Of course, I should have expected that whoever is running Time-Warner (or whatever it’s called these days) would prefer the filthy peasants from worrying their poor little heads about reality.
Of course, many of the filthy peasants are of the same opinion famously voiced by Bush Jr.’s Mother: “… Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”
That was the most telling quote of all time . . .
Wow. Just … infantilizing.
Oh, this is maddening! I suppose I should not be surprised, but really!
I’m glad you posted this. I would never have known.
Well, that’s the whole idea isn’t it.
