I got a call from my mother today. "So hang on. What's Gaza?" Uh..... *explains* "I don't get it, I watch the news, and I feel so uninformed." Well there's your problem. "Well how do you know what's going on?" I go to the source. If there's a supreme court ruling, I read the decision itself -- not the news article about the decision. "Wait, you can do that?" Yep. "But if I wanted to watch the news, who should I watch?" Whoever you trust the least. For me that's CNN. "But they're biased!" Of course. The point is that I implicitly hate everything they stand for (statist media in general), so they can never get one over on me. "Can't I just watch Fox?" No. Because all journalists are dicks, even the conservative ones. They are all lying to you. "Well that's not good...." No, no it isn't.
