The News - Innovative, honest dialogues for real solutions to American problems.
Dear Newsman or Newswoman,
Shut the **** up, if you would.
If I hear one more "Journalist" with a television program talk about "Honest solutions to real problems" I'm going to quit watching news altogether. It has been sterilized and turned into so much useless noise now that silence would be more informative.
I see so much talk of "We should really be debating the issues and having a national conversation about 'xxx' issue."
Stop talking, please. If you aren't going to initiate that "honest conversation" yourself, then shut the **** up. The ratio of people who are calling for honesty and truth compared to those actually brave enough to voice how they really feel is about 100 : 1.
Why do you feel the need to proclaim that what this country needs is strong leadership and innovative ideas if you are so busy talking about how cool it would be to have them, to the point that you never actually cover the ideas themselves. It is like the petulant child constantly repeating "Are we there yet?" Instead of pulling the car over I am about to drive it off of a bridge.
It is like the old truth about big tobacco charities. They donate ten million and then spend one hundred million telling everyone about it. If more words come out of your mouth about how you have good ideas than ideas themselves, guess what, you're a ****ing liar.
I'm not a polititian. I'm not a professional Journalist. I turn on the news to find out information. Facts. Vocal or written thoughts expressed about a subject that is atleast elaborative, if not informative. Instead we find such excesses of rhetoric that it gives rhetoric itself a bad name. Atleast in old-timey rhetoric it would be a talking point or stance that was repeatedly vocalized. Now, rhetoric is the brain-washing like repitition of opinions on vague ideas that are left more to imagination more than the thing lurking in the dark in a Stephen King novel.
Why is this done? Well, it saves a lot of brain power when you don't have to think about a specific idea, only a general warm fuzzy feeling that will get the populous to open their eyes a little wider and go "Oh my god, it is almost as if he was reading my mind, because I too think that our border crisis could be solved with strong leadership and common sense legislation!"
The best is when two enlightened individuals parry each others verbal feces with swords and shields made of retard-iron. "I think such and such, blah blah, strong American/British/French solutions to American/British/French problems and open dialogue." vs "Aha! But you miss the point with your rhetoric. The truth is in change and independant leaders with innovation, kittens, hugs from your mom, free sandwiches."
I love manchurian candidate style encoding of their statements. I feel like I need to drink more ovaltine to get my superman decoder ring.
"I think the American public values and wants honesty." (And all its incarnations) First of all, why do you 'think'. Are you such a politically correct android that you don't want to alienate the portion of your audience that says "**** it man, just lie to me. I always end up in abusive relationships so I think I'd feel more comfortable." Second of all, why are your lips moving to form these words? Who are you telling this to, and why do you think they are so bat **** crazy that you think they haven't quite mastered this stage of psychological development yet. Oh yeah, you are saying this to the person who has a different view from you, because if you said "You are full of **** and nobody believes you." you'd never be on TV again.
At the end it tends to break down into. "Well, that IS the liberal way of thinking." (Stupid as **** way of thinking) vs "Bush, Bush, Bush, innovation and honest dialogue."
-"Blah blah blah."
-"Haha, no but you are a good guy!"
-"You too, liberal!" (:wub:)
With the audience collectively reaching for the gun AND the bullet. Yes, I know that in writing this I am doing nothing but whining myself, but the difference is that I'm not proposing innovative and honest dialogue to solve these 'insert wherever the **** you live, even if it isn't relevant' problems.
I just want one favor. Think about what you say before you speak. If the words in the forefront of your throat sound like something that ANYONE with a pulse could agree with, you shouldn't say it. It doesn't mean anything. If anyone could agree with it, it means NOBODY needs you to tell them, except to make them feel better about themselves because "I must be smart to share the same opinion as this guy getting payed actually real, tangible currency to repeat it."
Shut the **** up.
Lovingly yours, Kennylz.

Had to let it out, but this is a forum for discussion, not just a place for me to rant. How do you feel about things?
