Toss ya a bone and you

Post #224,181 by Ashton 9/10/05 8:54:39 PM Reply	Toss ya a bone and you try to make a bludgeon - Point, for the slow: it may no longer be ass-umed, re the mob and its parts - "The Media says ___" What DOES constitute 'their'?/an identifiable group's? main sources of ""information""? 'The Media' is as dead a concept as, "The American People think ___" (Who'd a thunk - after the death of Father Coughlan.. that so-called Preachers would AGAIN be spoutin around these parts, clips from '30s German speeches, as 'scripture'! AND: that being. eaten. up. by the flock.) There are only simplistic answers this far - to these questions. But if/when the Well IS sufficiently poisoned, I predict one thing: Amoebic dysentery of the jelloware is a strong likelihood. (Unless it's already here.?. and That's what suppurent jelloware Sounds Like.)

But more and more its being used as an inclusive term to include am talk radio and other fringe elements. While you may think it a dead concept, that concept is bouncing around quite a bit and seems (while maybe on its last breath) still to be very much alive around here. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

Post #224,340 by Ashton 9/11/05 10:56:18 PM Reply	Re: whack re Talk Radio I neglected to mention that factoid heard en passant on NPR, from a survey whose pedigree I didn't hear. Mentioned that in #222404. 1/4 "get their 'news' via talk radio" SInce it didn't add, "in the Ozarks" or other qualifiers ... If there's any substance behind that report: Formally add-to-'Media' in defns. file.
