God help us.

I am sickened by the mainstream media. The way it is editing the news. In such strange ways. Especially the political campaign for the presidency. The media is part of the establishment. It seems to have lost its independence. The reporting of news has been turned into entertainment. Tabloid journalism. The focus is on entertaining anecdotes. Not on real news. On a snippet from a sermon by the pastor of Barack Obama's church. On Obama's 'condescending' off-the-cuff remarks at a private gathering in San Francisco. So little focus on real and important issues. It's 'gotcha' journalism. I have taken to turning off so-called news programs on TV and cable. I am getting a disjointed and distorted sense of reality. An Alice in Wonderland effect. God help us. --Jim Broede
