When Browsing News Articles Online I usually just click on one story of interest after browsing over 20 plus story headlines on each news website. That is the equivalent to watching 24 hours of TV news & seeing only one thing of interest. That is how much junk there is on TV and also on the World Wide Web. But at least the Internet is a 1,000 times more efficient & 5,000 times more effective when it comes to searching for accuracy, because you now have more then one opinion & a lot more information. Plus with so much to choose from there's something for everyone.

You learn over time to know what headlines are Misleading and what subject matter is Relevant or irrelevant. Most are just based on Speculation and don't reveal any new Information or Insight.
The article comments sometimes offer more insight then the actual article itself, but not always. Marginalia, or notes in the margins is nothing new. But electronic annotates themselves can also be speculation. So you have to ask, why do news people waste our valuable time? And why do people waste even more time commenting on something that is a waste of time to begin with? After you break it all down how much information is actually there. Who wants to go through 100% garbage just to find the 10% that may not be garbage. The people going through all the garbage that our media regurgitates daily, just to find the 10% that might be useful, should be paid a nice income. But of course the most logical thing to do is to stop creating so much garbage.
People talk but they don’t say anything. And what I mean by that is, 90 percent of people on TV, Radio and the printed media are not saying anything important, honest or insightful. We are horribly over saturated with empty words. If the Media spent the same amount of time educating the public, as they do trying to manipulate the public, we would have a lot less ignorance in the world. This is a horrible waste of technology and a waste of an extremely important public service.
They need to pass a law that makes a fair portion of our media to have numerous intelligent people communicating the most important knowledge and information that is relevant, honest and to the point. It seems that the people who are responsible for making these improvements feel that they are somehow separated from everyone else on the planet. I guess it's just another one of those Psychopathic affects that money and power inflicts on your average unsuspecting human.
Most of today's Reporters and Journalists are mostly Actors and Screenwriters who do their job only for the money instead of the service. Most are just pretending to have a conscience and some are even oblivious to the truth. Today's Mainstream Media News is filled with a bunch ignorant morons commenting on other ignorant morons using the same ignorant words as the other ignorant morons to describe what the other ignorant morons are saying.
(A Viral Loop that is similar to the cycle of ignorance except that this is on a different playing field, we should be learning and progressing instead of just spending most of our time regurgitating, makes me wonder if 'two girls and one cup' is just an Interpretive Dance that expresses what the media actually looks like at times, yes you are totally gross.) This goes way beyond being irresponsible, this is Criminally Negligent. I'm all for having variety and having something for everyone but you have to have organization in order to maximize Understanding instead of Distractions that waste time, confuse and Manipulate, which will not educate people enough to take appropriate action. Maybe News websites should have a section called Relevant news so it's separated from all the irrelevant news. And we all know that it's not what you say it's how you say it. When you attach your opinion to information it no longer is information. If you are not stating any facts or evidence you're just wasting valuable time and resources. We should even go as far as making TV shows who try to pretend that they are the news register as sex offenders because they are truly mind f ***ing the public. The FCC should make them have a warning message super imposed at the bottom of their televised program that says "This Program is Propaganda and a Dangerous and Irresponsible Distortion of Reality.
Of course entertainment shows like sports, movies, comedies and talent shows would not have to have this warning message as long as they are clearly entertainment. News should just be news. Investigated reporting without opinion that states the facts and the evidence to help Inform and educate the public without any corporate sponsored manipulation.It's amazing how TV makes Disinformation look so beautiful. So you have to ask, what kind of evil scumbag would want to use an amazing technology like TV, as well as time, people and resources, just to make Poison look good?
Are Distractions and Propaganda the same thing? Can Codependency also be related to the publics interpretation of the world or World View? Is the Media Enabling the public in a negative sense? (Howard Polley) "One of the concerns I have with some of the print media is that it's almost all comment, which is always partial and is always partisan. in that respect, I don't know if you could call them newspapers anymore — they're perhaps comment papers." (Anne Begg) Journalism Tools - Resources for Reporters Media Literacy Websites BAD TV
We don't want to suppress creative expression on TV. We just need to control the amount of
Bad TV that is forced on the average TV viewer, especially a TV viewer who does not have the
ability to understand the Psychological Effects of TV or control the amount of TV time that someone should have. Why does everything have to be a Soap Opera? Are we addicted to Drama?
Drama should only be used for entertainment, drama should never be used as a method of control.
Someday we will all look back and laugh about how incredibly ignorant TV was. How could we have wasted this technology and used it against ourselves in such a degrading way? How could we allow activities like Sports to be Commercialized and Demoralized?

When it comes to Sitcoms and Comedies, though it is sometimes funny to make fun of peoples ignorance and bad behavior you have to be aware that it sometimes encourages bad behavior and makes people believe that ignorance is normal and acceptable, which it is not. If a TV show wins an Emmy Award, and that TV show clearly is an example of making fun of peoples ignorance and bad behavior, how could you award something like that? You can't say that everyone gets the Joke? So why do we Laugh? More bad examples to learn from. If you are to call yourself a school, then this is your duty, learn from these bad examples or you will continue to suffer from the results.
If they can land a man on the moon why can't they make responsible Animated Cartoons?
And why can't they have Game Shows that are actually educational with knowledge and information we use in everyday life? "Most people live in a box where they spend most of their time looking at another box.
Thinking outside the Box is just as important as living outside the box" (Howard Polley) An hour of TV can shorten your life by 22 minutes. The same effect as smoking two cigarettes.
The problem is not actually TV itself but the lack of activity. 15 minutes of fitness a day can add 3 years to your life. School of Population Health Sharing TV Broadcasting Channels Television (Wiki) "TV Party" Black Flag Video
