I used to work in the media, so it sickens me when people attack “the media” for all of our social ills.
It’s not “the media,” because the media comprises People magazine, The National Enquirer, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.
People who assume “the media” is one entity are ignorant.
But I am sick of these media personalities, like “tough guy” Geraldo Rivera, who I am watching right now. This loser, never considered a real journalist (Remember Al Capone’s vault? Remember his Jerry Springer days?), is bemoaning the “pain” of the middle class. Awww, how sweet of this adulturous loser ….
Does anyone really think Geraldo, or Bill, or Anderson, seriously empathizes with “middle-class” Americans? These media assholes are going to be fine, they know it, and they don’t give a shit about average Americans.
So if you want to trash “the media” and are referring to these TV assholes — and not respectable institutions like the New York Times — more power to you.
