The Media - "Freak Porn News"
I think this article presents the media, and it's relationship with our current society, extremely well...
Mac Johnson writes at the AmericanThinker.com:
"On every controversial issue of the day, the mainstream media weighs in with advocacy in the guise of information, creating a demonstrably misinformed electorate.
For example, many people live in a carefully cultivated fear of the radiation from nuclear power plants, unaware that the coal-fired plants that are often built in their place emit far more radiation due to the uranium contained in coal. The Iraq War is declared an unsustainable and pointless loss of life that must be ended immediately by ignominious retreat, yet Salmonella kills more Americans every year. And Lord only knows how many Americans are killed by illegal aliens every year, because the media simply isn't going to keep track. Clearly, not all loss of life is equal when a debate is raging. (And "Bush left the mayonnaise in the sun, kids died" doesn't rhyme.)"
