If I'm going to call myself the Cynical Christian, then it's high time I get cynical here. (Walk away, eat some potato salad, make a cup of tea and still not feeling cynical). Thoughts flying in and out of brain.
Ooh, how about this? I can't even watch the news anymore. Not because the news is so bad, but because the media is so BAAADDDDDDDDD. Does any reporter even check facts anymore? Does any listener ever wonder about the stories they hear? I thought the job of a journalist was to research a story and then report to the public on it. Not anymore. Now most media outlets appear to be owned by the government. Beware the government-media complex. (Not my line, just quoting.) Their job seems to be threefold: Cover up the truth, rile up the public and sway them to the left before any facts have been reported.
The so-called prez can apparently do whatever he wants without any negative coverage. X number of vacations and countless impeachable acts and not one word from the media. The Socialist States of America. But how much did you hear about the prominent U.S. defense expert found dead under extremely suspicious circumstances? Or who the president's radical friends are, and how many of them he has surrounded himself with in DC. Why hasn't the Ft Hood radical Muslim who shot so many of his military colleagues been prosecuted?
We're living in exceptionally strange times, watching our freedoms crash and burn, as our lives become highly regulated and more dangerous by the day. And because everything is instantly available, we get to watch it in real time. Oh joy.
I may have to rename myself - I'd rather be amusing than cynical. Being a cynic is too depressing.
