Actors play fictional characters. They read and memorize their scripts penned by writers. Like actors, the news anchors on popular cable news shows like CNN, Headline News, CNBC, Fox News and MSNBC read their Teleprompters, which are comparable to actors’ scripts.
I feel the news anchors are nothing more than voice pieces by the ‘controller’s. They ‘act’ like overpaid sports announcers describing the current events, no matter real or unreal. The ‘tell it like it is’, only favorable to their bosses, who hold their paychecks. But actors and news anchors are people, too.
It’s better just to turn off the television and radio and live life — simply on essentials. If I didn’t have access to the internet or other forms of media, I wouldn’t know that there is a global recession, the stock market plunges, there is fraud in voters’ registration and elections and that illegal immigrant live in houses that they damn well afford to keep.
Since I too have practically nothing to my name, living on revolving lines of credit (which is in part thanks to TPTB), I have no concern whatsoever if the economy tanks. I don’t have anything invested. All I have is my family to whom I am grateful for living rent free under their roof for forty years.
My only possession that I’ve paid for while working are some clothes, three good pairs of shoes lasting almost ten years and a paid-off 1998 Ford Mustang. The rests belong mostly to my parental units (the house and furnishings), except for the donations from the twosome (like a free computer system, which includes a 15″ flat-screen monitor, a router, a DSL and some cables) and other miniature collection items.
So in a sense, ‘TPTB’ owe my family more than moi. As a matter of fact, the news anchors owe people like us some shred of truth that we shouldn’t worry about the economy or which presidential candidate will win in the upcoming general election in November 2008 and that we have NOTHING to do with mess created by the politicians and their cohorts.
As discussed during our meals with my parental units lately, if nothing changes in their numbers via regular mail, there is nothing to fear. If nothing changes with the employment status of workers, there is nothing to fear. I feel that this is a good time to get rid of the deadweights working in the Federal jobs and State jobs nationwide. It’s good for the states’ budget, too.
Overall, the rich (i.e. celebrities, actors and television personalities like news anchors) will live through another day unscathed because they already have homes, more than enough luxurious food to feed their stomachs and could live on higher gasoline prices than the rest simply cannot afford.
My only ‘fear’ is that the rich got their guns ready in case the starving, soulless zombies roaming the streets won’t end up looting their mansions. Now that’s a scary, sensational new coverage that noone will forget! Or will they remember what it is like to live in a Great Depression all over again. Nah!
