We have a bomb in a shopping centre that was reported locally early enough did not hit Sky news website until the evening. BBC barley had anything on there site and already its more or less slipped away Thankfully it was make so badly it set light, but it could have been a whole different story
It was the main story on Channel 4's 7 O'clock news last night. As ridiculous at it all was (Sky having a helicopter following a car that he might or might not have been in), I imagine the numbers would have received a boost by it.
Couple of words.... BRAVE NEW WORLD! The media does not need to concealed the truth from us, as they've already taken into account humanities infinite appetite for distractions: X Factor Page 3 TOWIE Celebrities The list is endless
The dumbing down of society, as our American Friends call it. I don't know if Blair should get all the credit. Besides, a dumb society served him very well, and continues to do so. For me, the rot set in when Big Brother reality TV hit the screens. It was as if a large part of the population thought 'why do I need a life when I can watch these idiot squabbling like 5 year olds from my own sofa'. Mobile phones have'nt helped with the new 'selfie' culture (hey look at me, I'm eating CORNFLAKES!!!!!), and while I like Facebook, some of the things I get told on there (Walter just won 20 dollars on Texas Hold 'em Poker) defy logic. I used to tell my dad that sort of thing a when I was five , and I'd just seen Charlton win the FA Cup with my Subbuteo set. These people are adults FFS. Darwin would be terrified. De-evolution has arrived. Rant over (sorry)
See I never liked it, or this I'm a Celebrity... I think a more apt TV show that would get the crowds, "20 Z-Listers, 1 Gun and No Food!"
HBO was my saving grace I think - in the context of television. I admit to being a teenager and watching a lot of this crap, but when things like the sopranos and the wire came along it quickly changed.
