The Zombie Media is Dead.

Outside of old people clinging to their land lines, VCR's, and Fox News I don't know one person who depends on them for news. Outside of Rachel Maddow I can't think of one person I have any respect for as a journalist on network media. Any and everything at Fox News is a horrific joke. Then you have CNN's Don "Black Hole" Lemon and Wolf Blitzer who insists disaster victims praise God and community activists to apologize for rioters. Then there's NBC's Brian "Commander McBragg" Williams. Then there's that hot mess over at CBS's 60 Minutes.

And it's from these "news" organizations that will moderate our Presidential debates. One White millionaire asking questions of other White millionaires what's the problem with all these Hispanics and Blacks and how large the tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires will be for the next four years.

The young and informed have bypassed these outlets years ago. News personalities present themselves as game show hosts and the public in response has given them the respect they have earned. The status of a game show host. There used to be respectability in the news business. Monty Hall was not thought of as the same level of seriousness as a Walter Cronkite. Now days news personalities are just wacky clowns mugging for the camera doing anything and everything to hype their own persona and expand their own brand.

Can you imagine Walter Cronkite or Eric Sevaried conducting an interview with the President of the United States in the disrespectful tones and constant interruptions like our current cast of news reporters have shown Obama?

The MSM clown car is full. The Zombie Media is dead. I wish somebody would inform them. They still seem to think people care what they say and that they are somehow influential on serious issues that matter to people when the should just give it up and broadcast Killing Jesus, Finding Jesus, and prison shows 24/7.
