In the last few days--well a lot longer than that, but for this particular thread the last few days--MSM have been using their entertainment programming to discuss the ever more brazen efforts by the media to document the behavior of celebrities. Call them what you will, the paparazzi are an essential and necessary part of MSM, a cog in the engine of economic commerce. So fundamentally important are they that even E cable tv runs a show with the motto: "we watch celebrities and celebrities watch us." Think about that for a moment. Then think about the upcoming special that E tv will present on the horrible paparazzi. Is this not the height of hypocrisy.
Every single story on Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, the Insider, E, Best Week Ever, the Soup, and too many magazines and online sites to even being trying to mention, requires the use of the images and material collected by paparazzi. When a story comes out about them following too close, or causing an accident, or running into some violent act, the story is accompanied by... wait for it...... images from the.. paparazzi. There would be no entertainment media at all without them. The idea that MSM can manufacture stories about how evil "they" are while simply ignoring MSM's role in actually hiring and using "them" is no different than the ideas spun from the machinations of the GOP message machine. We all know Bushco is lying, and we just shrug our shoulders and along with the MSM pretend he tells the truth. No wonder the citizens of the US can't function in any intelligent meaningful way to provide for their own best interests. There is no formative reality upon which culture continuity can be based in this country. We have pundits and news anchors publicly discussing intelligent design as if it made any sense to them, when in fact it can't, since it doesn't even make sense to those who created and supported it in the first place (see Dover trial transcripts). We have an MSM that chooses for whatever fanciful reason to ignore the 2000 dead troops killed in Iraq defending something that according to the pResident today, isn't about the war on terrorism???? WTF?????
We deserve the nightmare we are experiencing. We deserve the chaos that is ensuing. We deserve to believe that God controls everything including the slaughter of millions for no other reason than his own whimsical joy.
