Too much BS.

I'm living in a preposterous surreal world. So are you. We all are living in a world in which we are inundated with information. Unfortunately, misinformation. Propaganda. Outright lies. It's become difficult, if not impossible, to differentiate fact from fiction. Because the news we are getting constantly changes. Totally different from one minute to the next. For instance, when I tuned in CNN and Fox News the other morning, I was told that the Supreme Court had ruled Obamacare to be unconstitutional. That the court had dealt Obama a bitter defeat. That his legacy was in a shambles. But five minutes later, the networks declared that there was some confusion. In other words, that they had got it wrong. Turns out, the Supreme Court had really decided that Obamacare was constitutional, after all. And that Obama had won. Get it, folks. We are living in an age in which we are deluged with information. So much that it's become almost impossible to separate fact from fiction. We have TV networks and other news outlets formed purposely to feed us misinformation. To make us confused. To make us throw up our hands in despair. We have too much information. Wrong information. Little wonder that opinion polls change from day to day. Even from hour to hour. Depends on what crap/bullshit/lies/sound bites we are being force-fed at the moment. We have a candidate running for president vehemently opposed to Obamacare. Even though a few years ago he guided through Romneycare in Massachusetts. Yes, essentially the same/identical health care program now referred to as Obamacare. But now Romney is bad-mouthing what he once supported. Because he's being pressured by his Republican conservative base. With misinformation. Boundless lies. Surreal stuff. And the polls show that it's gonna be a close election. Romney has a chance of winning. Because we are living in a preposterous surreal world. It's only a matter of time. Before we learn whether the electorate has been dumbed down by an avalanche of information. Too much information. Too many lies. Too much bull shit. --Jim Broede
