I’ve forgotten the leading theory, but there’s no lack of “explanations.”

too freaking bad. The majority of what I have seen in the past 24 hours should put us to shame. If you want to know why the msm is so bad just look at our board, its all junk and garbage for the most part. The MSM is a reflection of us, and the past 24 hours have convinced me that we have no hope for sanity.

exists only to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed. Occasionally it will brush up against journalism, but those times are few and far between.

more than fill airtime, hawk their latest book during "news" shows. My solution was to simply turn them off and ignore them. As to what is posted here? Well, that is up to the individuals posting and it doesn't mean that I have to read or engage the waterfall of sensationalism. I have read a few to see if there was any real information and ignored most of them.
