Robert Cronkite Presents The News of the Whirled

EDITORIAL

I hope I don’t come across as being an alarmist, but has anyone else noticed that everything seems to be so fucked up on this mudball right now, that it can’t possibly be happening.

I mean really.

This can NOT be happening.

The world in which we live in (Thank you, Paul) is going through an odd, disconnected from reality, square dance.

Could this be…AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE IN ANOTHER DIMENSION???

Or are we collectively the dumbest, childish, most self-absorbed, delusional, insecure, undereducated, barely literate, bigoted, apathetic, species in the entire known universe?

Maybe if we look at this logically.  Hmmm…Awww, what the hell.

Segarini Looks At All the News in a Nutshell

Let me save you the trouble of having to read Tweets, The FB Newsfeed, Your Local Paper, Time Magazine, The New York Times, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and the Langley Falls Shopping News. I will also eliminate your having to sit through the Network News, TMZ, Etalk, Vinyl, Empire, and Keeping Up with The Kardashians, and The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated.

You’re welcome….

Segarini: Enough Already – Part 1: Background

To quote the brilliant but almost completely forgotten Paddy Chayefsky, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” uttered and shouted by Peter Finch’s Oscar winning turn as Howard Beale in the Academy Award winning film Network.

Network, a satirical and scathing screed about media’s treatment of news and the audience for it, is a blistering, on-target, unrelentingly accurate depiction of today’s news, and our over-reaction to it.

Which is amazing…

…considering it was written in 1975.

Nostradamus, Jean Dixon, and Kreskin can hit the showers….
