Public Opinion

Asking the public their opinion; who is this for? Perhaps these segments on the evening news should be preceded with: 'And now a message to our sponsors.' Because isn't the existence of these segments merely so our media shills can gauge exactly how much the corporate narrative has sunk in to the generally duped popular psyche?; as well as simultaneously reinforcing that narrative by broadcasting only those views that so neatly fit the desired thinking? Are these segments not ether?; mere insubstantial mental flatulence expelled without conscious intent?; valuable only to those who want to uphold an imbecile nation, too raptured to notice their perpetual decline?

Sure, we can all go down the some street market in the poorer part of town to ask the entities who spend their working lives exposed to the elements what they think of the current political climate, why not?; but it is strange to me how the 'word on the street', the 'thoughts of the common man' are generally gleaned from seemingly uneducated barely-literates who are interviewed so they can impress the TV reporter with their ability to repeat the newspaper headline they read on their way to work. Why is it the reporter cannot find an informed person to question?; I wonder.

I wonder.

Over and out for now, guys!
