Dave Burge of Iowahawk blog fame has a great tweet yesterday:
Of all the young black shooting victims in this country, you can name 1. Because you've been trained like a circus seal to bark on command.

Well, screw them.
If you're sick and tired of the media playing us all like so many cheap violins, then go out of your way for the next week (and more) to show people of other races love and charity. When you come across others who have been sucked into the manufactured hate, don't respond to their baiting and hostility except with kindness. Ask them why they let some subnormal script reader on the TV dictate their feelings.
Don't let the swine at MSNBC and elsewhere play you any more.

Exactly.
The "news networks" do not exist to actually inform. They exist to get viewers. Which they do by trying to whip up fear and animosity, with the hope of making disturbances, riots, and murders, so that people will think it is "important" to watch them.
I think the best solution is just not to watch them. I've noticed that, over the years since I've stopped watching "news shows", my general opinion of the human race has improved markedly.
Great comment, Tim. I haven't deliberately watched a news or talking heads show in over a decade. I think my IQ went up substantially during that time.
