The Media FAIL on Michael Jackson and Sarah Palin

One of my favorite football movies is Remember The Titans with Denzel Washington. His character Herman Boone has a great line that describes my current feeling towards the MSM:

I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music.

I refuse to follow the bouncing ball or have CNN and MSNBC or The NY Times herd me like sheep through their attention deficit laden soundbites. Unfortunately, the rest of the country is watching in rapture. Subjects like Health Care, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, 10% Unemployment have all happily been buried deep. Who wants to see that depressing shit anyway, right? "The sum of the suggestions is the child's mind."
