Western journalism offers a strange habit: All the time spitting hot air, they state a lot of things like they're already proven truth, but don't bring up any solid evidence to the scene. Lies become the truth. Mistakes become the truth. And never there would be an apology or a correction of the facts, if they were reported falsely.

They also do this

All this article covers is this:
Los Angeles Clippers players apparently found a way to show they're upset by racist comments attributed to team owner Donald Sterling.
As they warmed up Sunday for an NBA playoff game, the Clippers players removed their warmup shirts bearing team logos to reveal red T-shirts worn inside out, with the logos hidden. They finished warming up, removed the red shirts and played the game wearing their regular uniforms.

That's it!

It is 10 PAGES OF REHASHED CRAP FROM OTHER ARTICLES.

Nearly every article is half of another article, sometimes barely related. I don't have news anymore - we have InfoTainment.

I'd come to notice this a decade ago, back when I was browsing articles on news websites during my nights when you're was staying up too late in high school. I ended up dropping that habit and just watching subtitle-bearing Japanese anime instead, because the news was so BoSs d and presumptuous. I figured all it was good fot was entertainment, so I might ad well just be wasting my time on things intentionally designed as entertainment instead of the dishonest, biased and misleading media that news stations were offering.


I'd love to see both sincerity and accountability enter the western news markets... but how does one bring about such a revolution? The system has been so deeply corrupted and heavily clotted, not to mention for so long. How on earth do measly citizens combat that? Especially when the number of us sensitive/aware of it is so small?
