Idiot media feedback loops...

The news is astonishing. It's astonishing because they're astonished at the traction that certain non-stories seem to garner in the media, yes that media, the one that they produce. Are you following this? A certain newscaster starts his show flabbergasted at the Geraldine Ferraro controversy. "Isn't this a done deal?" he asks a panel who proceed to talk about it for ten minutes heatedly. I'm so upset at this whole fiasco. The candidates aren't really helping. They allow these tidepools of insignificance to tear us away from the mainstream, which if discussed, would tear us into a billion wet amoebas left to our own unplugged sogginess. Wouldn't it?
