"Journalism's kinda scary - and of it we should be wary"

M.C. and I have discussed, at length, the role that the mainstream media has played in leading our nation into its current predicament.
Below is a lyric fragment from a Frank Zappa song, which sums up his (similar) thoughts on journalists.

Who do you write for?
I wanna know
I believe you is the government's whore
And keeping peoples dumb
Is where you're coming from..."

Excerpted from "Packard Goose".

    don't forget:
    "I am gross and perverted
    I'm obsessed 'n deranged
    I have existed for years
    But very little has changed
    I'm the tool of the Government
    And industry too
    For I am destined to rule
    And regulate you

    I may be vile and pernicious
    But you can't look away
    I make you think I'm delicious
    With the stuff that I say
    I'm the best you can get
    Have you guessed me yet?
    I'm the slime oozin' out
    From your TV set
    You will obey me while I lead you
    And eat the garbage that I feed you
    Until the day that we don't need you
    Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
    Your mind is totally controlled
    It has been stuffed into my mold
    And you will do as you are told
    Until the rights to you are sold"

    He was way ahead of the cruel truth.

    He was a man of vision.

    I weep.
