Television is a medium....Remember that.
I burned a day off work today feeling under the weather(ear infection) and decided to spend the day in bed "getting better"watching TV with my 2 dogs curled up next to me-heat stealing bastards ha ha-and was compelled to comment on what I've seen.
1.FOX and CNN - in a duel to see who could break first any piece of useless info about a small airplane that crashed into a building in Texas. The story was tragic and a big deal..My beef with the networks was how rabid they poke and prod the responders and town officials for information. It was as if the phrase "that's all we know so far" is completely lost on them. It triggers a mechanism in a modern reporter to rephrase and Perry Mason spin already asked questions to trip up or introduce slight error into previously stated released info via people who are working difficult jobs and are probably under some stress about a given situation.

2. Winter Olympics-All the world in a small fish tank showing wonderfully the beauty and stifling silliness of international affairs and basic human relations. Hockey is on and I'm saddened to see the NHL playing where College kids should be. USA and Korea have this strange tension about themselves on the speed skating ice strangely appropriate,and a mans death has highlighted how common sense can be trumped by hype and selling up of a ultra fast track..hint hint any track who has a turn called "50-50" by the worlds best is a hint something bad is coming and they did not see this?ugh.Least i seem sour Norway's Marit Bjoergen winning the gold in cross country sprint was the best finish line video so far, i felt her happiness/powerful
note** Television. with the principal actors in the middle distance
3.Preview Channel.How the Hell is it that The History channel,TLC,and Discovery are all obsessed with the end of the world?I've watched video simulations of world destruction least 12 times this year so far!Since the Mayans and Nostradamus have combined with asteroids and extreme weather I'm surprised kids even bother caring about their /our future anymore..or do they?note** person through whom the spirits of the dead are alleged to be able to contact the living.
