Interesting article, cheerleading on the State of America these days, but also makes a good point about the power of negative narratives how politicians and the media are invested in them.

975: The Number Of Segments On Ebola Aired Before The Midterm Election.
The major broadcast and cable networks ran nearly 1000 evening news segments about the Ebola virus in the four weeks leading up to the midterm elections in November, tracking the diagnosis of a handful of U.S. patients. This fed into Republicans' election strategy, which capitalized off of the misinformation and fear spread about the disease.

When someone dies, its a topic of discussion.

I get through another day without dying, no one mentions it. No celebration in my honor. Why is that?

What the hell is ebola? Is it August 2014 or something?

Good news doesn't sell. so...

[Loneshot]

While the bad news is exaggerated in the media, it doesn't mean things are all well, unless you like big government. If you are over 18 and you regularly watch tv in America, you're probably apart of the problem. Im not talking about viewing a few shows, but actually sitting down almost everyday and browsing and watching t.v., you're probably an idiot or on your way to becoming one. The worst part is that the news is the worst thing on tv. You can learn more about life watching 24 hours of cartoon network than you can watching Fox or CNN. Fox is probably more scripted than anything on cartoon network lol.

Do you remember when t.v. shows were called programs? Yeah...
