American media needs two things right now

If you pay any attention to the MSM outlets these days, you are, no doubt, keenly aware that our world is in a bit of turmoil. The laundry list of sad and evil occurrences around the globe is simply staggering. It has gotten to the point where I would not be at all surprised to hear the nightly news report start off something like this:

"Good evening, I'm Perky LeBlonde, and this is the right-between-late afternoon-and-early-evening news. Our top story: We are unbelievably, completely, and irretrievably screwed. According to sources wishing to remain anonymous, the party is officially over. The cost of everything on the planet has just doubled, and we've run out of all of the good stuff. Even the richest 1% of the population is unable to buy the toys that they have been looking forward to, because production on almost everything has ground to a halt. The rent is past due, the landlord has had enough, and we're being evicted. -- This just in: we have been advised by Congress to - and I quote - 'Smoke if you got 'em, find yourself a good orgy to attend, and prepare to kiss your asses goodbye. The fat lady is wailing.' We'll be back after a word from our sponsor, Satan Chemical."

So, what are the two things that our MSM needs right now?

1. A reminder that their job is to honestly report important events and disseminate unbiased, truthful information to the public. Their job is NOT to disperse propaganda that they are fed by those who wish to keep the masses complacent and pacified, nor is it to frighten or shock the public into mass hysteria with sensationalism.

Oh, and could you please tell that pretty weather girl to come in out of the hurricane?
