    Surely ye jest. NBC is suspect because of one bad apple?

    But the rest of the news media is a-ok. Please.

    I have news for you. The commercial media's number one task is creating selfish and ignorant consumers. They do it by promoting low culture on a planetary scale and excluding educated values from the public square. It works like a charm because Americans are too lazy to open a book, like the Universe white washed and sugar coated, and enjoy having their emotions played like a three dollar banjo.

    Wake up and smell the brainwashing.
