We.Are.SO.Not.Listening


I came across one of the best dismissals of the mainstream media over at Democratic Underground this afternoon. We.Are.SO.Not.Listening. Here are a couple of choice paragraphs:

We are uninterested in whatever it is you have to say, whatever product it is you’re trying to hawk, whatever polls, surveys, or demographics you want to trot out and declare as gospel, and whatever opinions you insist on proffering as though any one of us still gives a flying fuck. Because we don’t.


or how about this:

Tens of thousands dead in a war you promoted like a ratings-grabbing miniseries sure to bring in the viewers and the bucks, Constitutional rights torn and tattered while you made a spectacle of shredding the once-noble profession of journalism with your stunning displays of ignorance, a middle-class that all but disappeared while you discussed missing teenagers and the fading careers of the once rich-and-famous, a government that tortured, imprisoned, raped, and plundered with abandon while you busied yourselves with looking the other way.

We.Are.So.Not.Listening.
