Re: double standards watch (4.00 / 2)

At some point continuing to read daily kos becomes nothing more than a vehicle for cultivating your anger.

you are the media you consume.

Feel the anger flowing through you... you cannot deny the power of the Orange Side.

Re: double standards watch (none / 0)

I was thinking about a diary on this, but after your comment, what more is there to add?

you are the media you consume.

Re: double standards watch (none / 0)

Well, most people view the media much like they view advertising - the propaganda and emotional manipulation affect everyone but me, because I understand how it works. So I write a 2000 word essay on the topic, everyone nods in agreement, then go right back to media induced fear and loathing. What's the point?

I suppose I could whip up a personal narrative on how I (mostly) beat this out of my own system.

you are the media you consume.

Re: double standards watch (none / 0)

Same way for many of us Americans. I just go, look, despair and head for here or Docudharma or EENR. Or get out the Strat and bug my office mates.
