Somehow, a drunk Mel Gibson's words are a 2 week media frenzy; a killer in Seattle who says "I did it because I hate Jews" or a killer in San Francisco who called himself a terrorist, do not get any more than the merest documentation in mass media, then are dropped from the news cycle forever.

You can get ratings with Mel Gibson's words. And you can't serve the liberal agenda and beat up on Bush by lingering on domestic al-Qaedans.

The media is no longer about "informing". Instead, it is all about "influencing". Or getting rating points...so you can "influence" even more.

But you knew that...

Sadly, yes I did!
