Driven to distraction

Op-ed piece on kuro5hin.com, discovered through my friendsfriends page:

F*ck N*talee H*lloway

My take: Unfortunate (and extremely rude) title. Wonderful indictment of the American media when driven to distraction by the Powers that Be.

Thanks for posting that link, Mike.

I just shake my head at the American media today. I don't get it.

I don't really expect that Rupert Murdoch's Fox News would actually have any integrity or quality, but it amazes me that about the only place they get called on their lies and errors of fact is on Jon Stewart's "Daily Show".

The point about how stories about missing young WHITE females get so much attention, versus missing persons of any other race, age or gender, is just appalling.

I honestly hope that the people of America wake up soon and end this national nightmare.
