Gay Marriage, Terry Schiavo, Runaway Bride have replaced "Terra Alerts"
I guess after 2 years of "terra warnings" this is the new Corporate Media tactic.

I'm ashamed that our country consumes this crap day after day and asks for more.

1. No, no, no...not completely.
The "terra warnings" do two things--they distract from the real news, and they raise his approval ratings. Terri Schiavo succeeded in making him look worse, and the "Runaway Bride" has not done anything to his approval ratings.

The gay marriage thing, however, I will concede. It does do both the things I described.

2. I was watching "Headliners & Legends" on MSNBC the other day
and the only topic that they scrolled along the bottom was about that DAMN RUNAWAY BRIDE!

Geez Louise, *why* on earth is this woman still in the news? I stopped watching the corporate news, but I think I might just give up *all* TV for a while.
