It's sad that cable news has lowered the bar for journalism so far.

So, great, instead of Fox's sensationalistic fair-and-balanced-ness all the awesomely awesome counter-culture dudes with a cable modem are going to blogs like The Drudge Report and interdictor for some "news".

Back in the day, before journalism sucked a hard leaky dick, we used to call these people "nut jobs" or "conspiracy theorists" because they sensationalize and lack integrity to fully investigate a situation. But because we don't actually have journalists practising journalism on many news outlets this seems like a viable alternative.

But I'll tell you something, it's NOT and never has been. Lump all these hacks together and you have a bunch of charlatans who want your eyes glued and your fingers clicking. And we all take it at face value, wanking off at the power of the internet like a fucking Sun Microsystems commercial from 1997.

Fact of the matter is that immediate is almost never accurate. And all this technology means jack shit if the end product is mis-informative.

Here in the 21st century with all our technology it's still wisest to sit and wait.
