I cannot afford to keep myself informed of the important news and trends and threats of the day. The news gathering (??) media has become one blob of gossiping, "he said, she said" copy cats who simply keep repeating the same stories, citing the same information, telling the same stale tid bits of non news ad vomitus. And while the TV and radio (including NPR and PBS, nose pickers/news pickers are endlessly repeating one another there are other even more important events, actions, changes, crimes, inventions, and all manner of changes taking place and being ignored. And I cannot afford the news media outlets that just might carry such "real news" because of my limited income. Come on, there are more important trends, actions, lack of actions, decisions, and activities worthy of reporting than the caucus raucous in Iowa. Especially after the known results were published and broadcast the first twenty five times. But I do not know what else is happening in my world because there is no one reporting or broadcasting or printing the other real stories. And everyone seems to be telling, gossiping the same damn stories, even once respected news gathering/sifting/sorting/doctoring agencies I had come to respect and trust. The broadcast media appears to be suffering from lock jaw and lock step by simply moving the commas. The print media has the latest in copy machines, making only minor changes in the location of the commas. And my life is becoming more narrow and confining, and I’m becoming more uninformed and more stupid than normal because I cannot afford my own news gathering operation. I depend on the new bureaus paid for by the corporations who control my environment, my entertainment, and my enlightenment. Hello, out there. Does anyone know what’s happening? Richard E. Lake
