Depressing reading those together, reminds me why I limited my news intake.
- sterlind 3y agoIt's been a hell of a decade so far.

Even if it warps reader's sense of reality, even if it causes massive amounts of anxiety and suffering into the world, the profits cannot be ignored.
- barrysteve 3y agoReminds me of that old Bill Hicks joke along the same lines. He's at home watching daytime TV news too much. He says, on TV it's all WAR, FAMINE, DEATH, RECESSION, DEPRESSION, again and again. It's the most depressing thing. He asks where is all this stuff happening, man?? He opens the curtains and there's nothing to see, except crickets. He goes on to say Ted Turner must be making this stuff up. Jane Fonda won't sleep with him, so he makes up some famine story. If Ted Turner doesn't get laid, nobody gets laid. Internet news, same same.
