Why is it that every time on DU when the media stirs up a panic....

[TwixVoy]

And the occasional poster (in the vast minority) makes a post to the effect of "Stop the panic. The media is blowing shit out of proportion and distracting us again".... the typical response is "Why do you care?" or "YES IT IS TIME TO PANIC!"

I mean after living through 8 years of bush bull shit haven't people figured this game out yet? The media for the past 8 years has come up with countless bull shit story after bull shit story designed to distract and waste time. Anyone remember "Shark attack" hysteria? Anyone remember "Iraq has WMD we are all going to die!!!"? Anyone remember countless "Missing white woman!!! NATIONAL CRISIS!!!"? Anyone remember bird flu?

I mean DAMN - how many times can they get away with this? The "news" is ENTERTAINMENT FOLKS! Figure it out. This swine flue is ENTERTAINMENT! Hell I sit down with a glass of juice a sip it while I smile watching the hysteria.... because the only thing more fun that being a part of the hysteria is being an observer laughing at all the people in a panic over more media garbage.

Today news came out that Bank of America and American Express are going to need more federal cash. Barely a blip on the radar. They are robbing you blind while you panic and expect death from the evil flu to visit you soon. That is why I care people.

STOP FALLING FOR STUPID MEDIA TRICKS! IT IS ENTERTAINMENT TO MAKE YOU "FEEL" LIKE SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE! How many days have been wasted on this nonsense? How many more weeks until the media moves over to the next major BS issue and gets you to focus on it?

Damn I am so sick of the typical American being so half witted.
