BrainWashing in the UK
On returning to England after spending 1 month in China/Poland, the amount of Brainwashing by the UK media, particularly Channel 4 News, is alarming.
It seems the news is a 60-40 mix of actual news and stories to wash the status quo or 'current thinking' over our work weary brains.
Gordy
Take Gordon Brown.
Who really gives a fuck about Gordon Brown or what Gordon Brown is doing?
The Media?
Anyone else???
Anti Muslim
Like John Reid's warning parents to look out for Anti-Muslim bullying in schools.
These people are running wild on our streets blowing people up, buses, trains and shoes. Anything they can get their hands on.
Is this shit I really wanting filtering through my synapses?
As a conscious human being I take exception.
No Lefty
Don't think I've been watching lefty channels either, I spent most of my time watching CNN and BBC World service whilst away.
Adult
As an adult I'm capable of taking in information and forming a viewpoint then not telling anyone else what it is.

I can't disagree. I recall listening to the Today programme during the first ever elections to find a mayor of London. I guess there was some national interest - first actively political role of a mayor and all that.
But this went on day after day, hour after hour, even when people were flooding the BBC with complaints. Just why was a local, allbeit London-local, story given so much coverage?
Answer, because the media was feeding itself.
