Must have been around 10pm, I can always keep track of the time by the programs I’m watching, last night, it was InfoMania . There are myriads of news programs, from the ultra serious, to the seriously off beat (yet somehow informative), how does one pick and stays loyal to a piece of news program? — that’s easy, from their intros — as the saying goes something like: don’t judge a book by it’s cover, well that’s a complete bull shit. Do judge your news programs by it’s cover, if it starts out with a flag followed by somewhat military like marching tune, for sure you will find some 100 year old dude reporting some SERIOUS news, if it starting out with a dog on the operation table with a gas mask on (digg) … okay you get my point. As for me, nothing says, YOU ARE IT, than start the show off with ‘Get the Cool Shoe Shine’ does anyone have any idea how much I like Gorillaz?! I don’t care if the news program talks about watching the paint dry.
Alright what is, InfoMania? It’s part of the Current TV on channel … emmm just start to channel surfing every Thursday at 10pm you will get there. What is Current TV? How do I begin, Let’s say, I am standing on a street, in a city. I’m going to catch a train. There are people streaming in all directions. Each one of them carries a news to be told. Current TV gathers these ‘user’ feeds and spit the news back to us, well chewed, thus makes them easier for the digestion.
Watch the news clip from last night’s InfoMania Program:
Yesterday on almost all of the news programs the topic of the day was: Palin’s wardrobe …. on EVERY SINGLE NEWS CHANNEL. The mainstream news media has turned into a blogosphere - if there is something happening in the web community, every big and little blog is covering it - boring!
Alright if that’s the headline of the day let me give my two cents, first of all Sara Palin is running for the vice President of United States, don’t ever compare her to Michelle Obama, (it’s like compare Biden’s wardrobe to Cindy McCain’s.) as much as I like them both, one is running for the VP and the other is in for the ride, their image are different. One is a successful business woman-ish figure, that ‘if-elected’ will move us forward. The other is a good mother/supporting wife-ish figure, that ‘if-her-husband-gets-elected’ she will continue be a good mother and supporting wife, promising not to run around the white house all wild and all. Those are the image, these two presents, so they need to dress the part. People it’s not the same. Think about it, if you go to a business conference with thousands of people you have never met, would you most likely think the sharp dressed person is more successful and might help you succeed? or would you rather talk to someone in a trucker hat and hope he has some business connections? in another world, no matter who we are on the inside, we need to dress the part to look the part. It’s not Palin’s fault that - Women’s total make over are more expensive than a typical guy’s - I can see this is def. coming from a guy’s point of view, who never had a girl friend or a sister … it’s funny you can see as they are reporting it on the news, all the female reporters just look around and not saying anything, it’s not over spending it’s just the price women pay to look good. And if you are running for VP it only means you gotta pay 10x as much as the typical women. besides who is her to say no, if someone came to me and give me a free make over … hellz yeah!
All in all, mainstream news - please stop this madness - you guys know better than to report such a stupid stuff for ratings. Besides who is cashing in on all of these air time? Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Av. it’s like a freaking cult brainwashing program “Yes, NBC I’ll only shop at Saks from now on”. besides, isn’t spending encouraged in this down fall economy? let’s just say that all four of these hopefuls are helping the economy moving again.
