It's ENTERTAINMENT!

Let's remember that, friends. If somebody's making money from you looking at or listening to whatever it is, it isn't NEWS or INFORMATION it's ENTERTAINMENT. No matter how well-intentioned you believe your source to be, it's a commercial enterprise if anybody's paying for you to be delivered to their ads. They want your attention. They are paid to deliver your eyes and/or ears to advertisers. If they can outrage you (Mother) so that you'll stay tuned through the commercials, they've done their job. They don't care if you've pushed "mute" so you can grade papers. Statistically, folks don't check out. I hope they don't believe what they hear, either.

I don't depend on this to pay the rent, either. It's just stuff I'd say if I had anyone around who'd be able to understand it.
