Sunday and cooler weather has returned……enjoyable to sit in the orchard and listen…..but enough about me……
This week the world was shaken to its core…..some celebrity was robbed at gun point and lost $10 million worth of jewelry….jewelry that she bragged about on social media….and for days we heard all about this idiot’s problems…..but just what was it that made this pack of crap more important than other news?
One of the saving graces of the ailing corporate media — for the folks setting the agenda, anyhow — is its relentless ability to hyper-focus the public’s attention on altogether meaningless events.
Take, for instance, an armed robbery that sees property stolen but no one harmed. Such an event is unfortunate, yes, but such is life. People get robbed. It certainly isn’t something that should consume the news cycle — particularly when developments of actual importance are unfolding around the world.
Here’s what they should have been talking about instead.

I would add one more…..an American soldier died in Afghanistan because of an IED……and that was NOT important enough to mention…..apparently it was not “newsworthy”……..
How pathetic is that?
Reblogged this on The Militant Negro™.
Thanx and I hope you are having a good weekend….chuq
It always amazes me how much proof people will ignore, even when it affects them personally. By now, one would think the general public would have a clue they are being manipulated and lied to, but, in order for them to do so, they would have to admit to a lifetime of deliberate stupidity, which nobody is willing to do. They would rather clutch their fantasies to their chest, and bleat about whose fault it is they are so unhappy….
Moreover, they are getting exactly what they deserve….

“Stupid is as stupid does”….best thing I can think of….hope you are having a good weekend….chuq
It is what happens when you live in the matrix…and wear it with pride.
Yep…..
I guess the media is in tune with America’s addiction to: The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous
