important dispatch from the memory hole!
That's one of the glaring problems with the corporate media news cycles. Rather than being significantly informative, it's like a roving band of monkey-puppets with ADD stirring a pot of voodoo stew.
When there is a event that deals with base fear, as we have seen over and over again. the corporate news and cable opinion tubes gets fixated and beats the issue to death as if gleefully hammering it into our National limbic system. Wolf Blitzer has become a deadpan poet of news drama, (who really could benefit from using a thesaurus) who, rather than reporting, tends to act like he is conducting a symphony of emphatic self-importance and feigned concern while the experts and talking heads play their professional hot-air pipes for him.
How often are events that are still impacting us and important get revisited in a proportionally relative way? The mass media seems to forget what it wants to and then obsess about what it needs and wants us to know and that's why it sounds more and more like a highly polished, tabloid of sensationalistic and, more importantly, manipulative litany of tabloid trash rife with the sent of ulterior motives. Information as a clothes washing machine: cycle-after-cycle, so much is lost in the rinse.
