I would like for you all to look at the following video and post serious comments plz.
btw, the comments on the website are both stupid and interesting.

although the video attacks US media specifically, i would like for this thread to be on world media and what u guys generally think to be the BETTER news networks, not necessarily good in your view.

LOL nice find. I completely agree with it. The quality of news these days suck. I never even watch it nowadays. Who the fark gives a damn about britney, or more celebrity scandals. The problem imo is that the news channels now days are trying to attract more ppl to watch the news. Back in the day, that was the only source, but now we have majority of the ppl going online to get their news. so the news channels have to give light to even the stupidest rumors or scandals. they probably assume that people would get bored if they keep on hearing the news about Iraq and Darfur.

eh i dont think most people would get bored of it since they never were interested in it the first place, asides from the fact that were gonna bomb a country (hallelujah!). Most people's entertainment IS britney and anna nicole and all other IMO pointless stuff.

but yea i still watch the news hoping for one of those smart arguments every once in a while, more recently., those made by Ron Paul in the presidential debates. the media quickly changes topics when someone is saying something smart in order to keep the people delusional on what is really going on.

tabloid shit and magazines about such and such pregnancy and such and such breakup really gets you annoyed. I don't understand why people buy that stuff to read about celebrities. I don't get why america cultivates celebrities and spoil them and give them attention, then focus even more when they turn retarded and shave their heads and stuff. stupid people stupid people
