It's all just showbiz crap now!


I know this has been coming on for a while, but instead of just the obligatory entertainment tag story, it's gotten to the place that ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT is 50% Hollywood junk.

It's gotten so bad now that whenever they pretend to run a legit news story, they show scenes from movies which seem to be similar in plot!!

No shame, no pride. But jawdropping.

That's where it's at.

They're putting out "the news" to what would be a child-like viewer (not to insult children, there's a lot of sharp children). I guess things have to get bad enough for everyone to do something about it. It's not there yet but it's getting there. Until then, you'll see it get much worse because there's no one to stop them from (the oligarchy) from feeding us fluff and garbage.

In today's illusory childish environment, we have to be our own advocates, be pro active to find out what information we need to know, by other sources.

Well they're owned by Disney for Christs sake. Closing story tonight.... some Disney doll may be this years big item for X-mas. Go figure.


In the frozen land of Nador they were forced to eat Robins minstrels. And there was much rejoicing.
