There was a time when journalists
attempted to tell the truth.
However, the insanity of Viet Nam
taught journalism a bitter lesson:
Most Americans don't want to
see, hear or read the truth.
And so we have consumer-driven
journalism designed to give the public
"news" confirming their notion of
a world they can understand -
thus denying incomprehensible
complexity of a world they can't!
Which is how and why America
is governed by emotion and ignorance.
