Can you dig it?
Holy shit @ those Time covers.
Right? Why does Anthony what's his name have a show about food on fucking CNN? How is Mad Men national news? Why have we been conditioned to give a single fuck about what some celebrity wore to some award show? Why do I have to go to twitter to get actual news? Why does Anonymous break more actual news than straight media?

What's that quote? Great minds discuss ideas, something or other, small minds discuss people. My addendum to that is American minds don't discuss.Originally Posted by Josh
This. If it's possible, I have even less respect for Time now. I'll still take it over US News & World Report though.
You're right, and all counter points brought against you are full of shit.
They've glossed over the texas explosion and glossed over the risen letters. CNN gave the Risen letters like 5 minutes. Local news gave it an hour with an interview of the accused. Shit, they gave the Jodi Arias shit more time than either.
There is a clear bias towards cheap shitty tabloid like news that makes older white people feel bad and scared. People that say that there is more to learn from the Boston bombing are not watching US news. CNN and Fox news aren't trying to inform. They aren't trying to learn more about terrorism and why it happens. They keep doing shit like posting the picture of the 8 year old kid that died or looping the explosion of a practice bomb. They had some dumb bitch on there saying over and over again about how the metal balls traveled faster than sound. Later they sensationalized the older brother buying fireworks and called them mortars. Seriously? Uncle bob's firework shack has MORTARS?
There is a clear effort to sensationalize and entertain.
All of you should get on Twitter and follow some real news sources. Your mind may be blown.

You use mortars to launch fireworks. Big ones, anyway.
The justice of this is that Bourdain is only there because CNN's ratings are awful.
its how he presented it. The tone he used, the words used, how he dwelled upon this and that. He was trying to make a bigger deal out of it than it was.
Its just like how the woman kept talking about how the metal balls traveled faster than sound.
its all crap. Pointless fear mongering.
Whats next? A national ban on fireworks? Dude already had to give an ID record to buy the shit.
Is everyone in Tennessee going to self destruct because there is no ID check for firecrackers?

I'm waiting for reloading powder being discovered as a component in the bombs, then watching this segue in to a pro gun control issue.
Another thing, why is CNN teaching the American public how to make pressure cooker bombs?
