Update on Steve Corbett of WILK in Wilkes Barre

If you have read my previous post on Steve Corbett of WILK in Wilkes Barre, you cannot help but notice the sorry state of affairs with the fourth estate in this country. I talked about this while I was writing Less Idiots, and have no desire to extensively work the subject again, but cannot avoid pointing out the most important message in the entire matter. The status of race relations in this country is a critical subject and should not be ignored, but by far the more serious issue is just how intertwined our government and the media have become.

If you stop for just one second and consider how much money is made by the media off of campaign advertisements, it is entirely obvious that they have an arrangement that is not entirely healthy for the group known formerly as “We the People”. It is almost as if our politicians have to pay mass media a toll charge before than can get access to walking up the backs of the American people.

Then we have the added insult of the same media making political endorsements. When you see clearly these endorsements have less to do with what the media thinks of the candidate’s platform, and more to do with what the media thinks their audience wants to see, you start feeling really queasy.

We are in the septic tank America, and the latch has been closed and locked behind us.

Don’t light a match.
