Link of the Day [8.30.11]
In my Google Reader (the only google app I truly use day-to-day), I’ve got the political feeds set up to be the first thing launched. Basically, I use Reader to read political blogs. I get most of my political information from blogs, because our news industry is broken. They are not newsmen but entertainers. There is no more reporting but entertainment. You wonder why we’re stupid. It starts with our press. We’ve given up on informing. We’d rather entertain. It’s become trivial and this makes the world susceptible to assfucks such as Palin, Bachman, the GOP and the Tea Party. It leads us to fucktard presidents. When we are uninformed, we make these bad decisions. Of course, sometimes people are just plain stupid.
