american news in general are just completely rediculous; they talk about the most random and irrelevant stuff for several minutes i.e. some dog saving a baby kitten somewhere in Arkansas. And if 2000 people die in India from a flood...they cover it for three seconds. Or what about the Darfur Conflict??? Never heard about it here. Generally the news here (US) dont cover any international topics. You have to watch BBC world to stay in touch.
In my view, TV is the main reason why the general public is so ignorant about anything outside of the states. They passively get force-fed about their fears and insecurities, or they are just too distracted by bullshit tv shows to think about anything. and whats up with letting really young children watch TV for hours a day??
TV is babylon! i'm kidding. I love Family Guy, BBC Documentaries, French Cinema and so many other things. Just think one needs to be selective about TV. Got to love the internet...SO MUCH information from so many different sources. BUT its the yanks that are kind of in control of the internet...
To get back to the topic of discussion; I dont think all americans are ignorant, and i certainly dont hate them. A lot of them are just really uneducated and have a very 'conditioned mindset'. Obama will hopefully lead the states in a new direction. He is my homeboy!
