To: a fool in paradise

You and I know that the purpose of the Texas media is to keep the people stupid.
they also have an overinflated belief that people believe anything they say or print.

Do you remember several years ago when the Comical was throwing free papers on the lawns of Houstonians?

They had to boost circulation figures somehow. And influence public opinion.

I saw a Comical earlier this month. It’s thinner than a small town (20,000 people) newspaper now.

I dropped the San Antonio Express News over 3 years ago, and haven’t missed it at all. Over that time I have taken several National “News IQ” tests and have consistently scored in the top percentile. How has this happened? Simple... I get most of my news from internet sites! I don’t watch TV all that much except for movies either.

Certain media outlets such as newspapers and network TV insist on keeping their old, pre-internet, models of news gathering and editing. These methods are dinosaurs and cannot possibly control the national information as they had in the past. They are rapidly becoming irrelevant. Texas newspapers are living in the past “Democrat Model” of the world last seen in Ann Richard’s reign.
