    Speak for yourselves

    We are powerless.

    As usual, you people take your own inability to distinguish real news from utter shite and project it onto others. YOU may be part of the nationwide wave of people who give a shit about things like this, but please don't make the mistake of thinking we all are. I come to sites like Salon because I want a break from the blaring idiocy of the MSM, but it seems there are those who insist on dragging this time-wasting garbage into every conversation. It's pathetic, and especially galling since the internet is so in need of people who can actually spell and construct a sentence, to discuss things that actually matter. What it doesn't need is more and more drivel.

    And by the way, aren't you tired of being so completely hypocritical? I mean, whining about how the media can't shut up about this junk? As Captain Buck Murdock said, "I guess irony can be pretty ironic", eh?

    (And in case you're wondering, no, I didn't read the article; just plucked out a phrase near the end that seemed the most egregiously dishonest to me.)
