Woke up a bit fired up this morning.  Watch the video to see why.

As a general note…it’s not a surprise that Fox is making scurrilous allegations against [Democratic Politician], it’s pretty standard fare over there.  They’ve been doing it consistently for the last 8 years+.

I did want to make the point about the hurricanes.  This is a good reason why many people are uninformed in the U.S. and that’s a big part of the reason.  Not hurricanes, but cheap, empty news.  It’s expensive to make good news.  It takes time and effort and money.  It’s not a thing, if dont right, that is usually profitable.  It used to be considered something of a public service.

Now, things are so bad, they’ll spend 15 minutes talking about where a hurricane might hit, and then come back 2 hours later with a different projected path.  It’s not that big a deal, except there is actual news going on somewhere, but it cost money, which hurts profits.  So we get weather news in front of TV screen and a generally uninformed populace.

I guess it’s better than a misinformed populace, but it seems to be we are getting a two-for-one deal on that.
