A word or two about the news channels these days

"shooting, fleeting. Get onto the set at night. Play it and repeat it, if you don't then the people won't get it tonight. Scripted, heard it. Don't it just sound so right? Scare tactics, the headlines are keeping us up tonight and they'll scare us all.

shut your windows and lock all your doors
choke on it

It's something you won't want to miss. Exaggerated story lines you can't dismiss, no. If you don't watch you might die. Struggles, trust me they won't subside. Until something hotter just burns through the night. And they'll scare us all.

shut your windows and lock all your doors
choke on it"

It's not something new, I think that the media have always altered the news for whatever purposes they have.

i think you people are paranoid.
8)

this song pretty much sums up what the media is about.

''Our TV sets are drenched in pseudo reality,
when the truth is endemol can't save you from mundane existence.
Twelve unknowns light up 7 million homes,
yet the news at ten is barely watched,
as it's the same old war again.
Lets talk about romance,
romance is dead.
An ideology exploited for commercial gain.
They want you to fall in love
with the idea of being in love,
because nothing says I love you better than flowers and chocolates and cards.

But its all right now,
I can see clearer now,
its all right now,
now your head is up out of the clouds.

You can call me a cynic,
but at least I'm realistic.
I went to Ikea today,
it didn't change my life.
Yet everyone in my street is going Scandinavian,
it's like the upper east side in semi-detached suburban Britain.
You have to ask yourself why?
Its like whitewash is brainwash,
they're diluting out style''
