The News Media is Keeping Us Informed

I'm so glad that the news media takes its responsibilities seriously. You do realize that without the tireless work of all those reporters out there we would never be informed of all the important things going on in the world. I'm so glad that they manage to sift through all the bric-a-brac and irrelevant garbage to bring us the news that really counts and that we couldn't live without.

For example, the slow erosion of our civil rights as more and more laws are passed to "protect"us from nasty terrorists is so unimportant that it is rightfully ignored, while a truly vital news item such as Linsay Lohan calling Paris Hilton an obscene name as a joke is given the headline status it deserves.

Yes, democracy is safe thanks to the news media.
