Mainstream Media

Our liberal media are hysterics and hypochondriacs, obsessed with meaningless trivia for the purposes of managing and channeling collective anxiety, including their own. You might remember, for example, that prior to 9/11, all of the networks were obsessed with the Gary Condit affair, day in, day out. Then something real came along — 9/11 — which rendered the Condit affair totally meaningless, even though it had been utterly meaningless before.
