1st Entry

I typically get my news from the most immediate source. Whether it be a newspaper lying open on the kitchen table that I happen to glance at, stumbling across newsprogram while flipping through channels, or a home page of a computer offering an interesting story, I get my news casually. Occasionally, I'll watch a special report on war that is aired on discovery times. Satisifying audiences and ratings with sex and violence has worked for anything put on television and the news is no exception. The news, in turn, has created an epic of "bad guys", distorted social images, celebrity worship, and gilded fear. This brew of mass-media flavored debauchery is particulary volatile when mixing with the political side of journalism.
