What it stems from is a mind numbingly selfish attitude promoted by the media, which is primarily concerned with itself and hollywood, and not at all with people suffering and dying in the only democracy in the mideast, which is Israel. This obsession with our own reflection in the pool, this narcissistic tendency, is promoted by the liberal media and keeps everyone here dumb as dirt with regard to events worldwide, and on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to ethics. When was the last time you saw a system administrator interviewed on one of the morning shows? How about an electrical engineer? How about an Israeli soldier, or even Rush Limbaugh? How about viruses attributed to Microshit software instead of the Linux operating system? Or even a MENTION of the Linux OS? This is a wide sampling, but I'm damned if it's a sampling you're sure as heck NOT gonna see. Because that's not on their agenda. What you WILL see is fluff and anti ethics; because that's part of their agenda. Look for Rosie O'Donnel, or Oprah, or Jerry Springer, or crap like that, and you will get blown over like somebody aimed a firehose at you. There does happen to be a large contingent of peeps in the M$USA that do have strong ethical concerns about 5 year old girls being used as murder weapons on the Israelis; or for increasing the average intelligence quotient of the population. The media just does not happen to be a part of that contingent.
