#7900 - #50 - Uninformed Public

September 10, 2010 (Blog # 50)

Well, last time I subjected you to warnings, this time I‘m going to tell you “what this “confusion” is all about”?
You see everyone wants their opportunity to be spokesperson. A “Spokesperson” for any idea they may have; whether political or not. The situation of the “Mosque” in New York, the multiple fires in the U.S.; the many recent fatal air accidents; anything. With enough attention by the media anything is made important and the personality that announces it becomes “personality, a sort of “spokesperson for the hour”.
With everyone trying to be “spokesperson for the hour” the media is filled with nonsense. It’s interesting nonsense otherwise the producers of this nonsenes wouldn’t be making the money they’re making.
The result is an “uninformed public that doesn’t know how uninformed it really is”!
The bigger issues such as: Can the U.S. economy ever live up to the promises given out at the last election ….Welfare and the big Medical promises? Even if the economy was running at its projected “full speed”? Does any economy afford this reality? …… Can we raise to a Pay Level that means everyone has its own level of spending?....... Does reality and the “Do’s and the “Don’ts” of the Real World set in? .. Or are we to believe these incredible promises made by the intellectually able people we are subjected to on the media.
Talk about being uninformed!!!
Hardly ever are we confronted with a truly National question?
Is the media to blame or do we have to look in the mirror more often?

How can the economy survives the terrible strains and still provide the solid basis which Americans have been promised….Unlimited Healthcare and Welfare payments. No other successful society has done it. To be promised something that is “open ended” is to fight “creditability”.

No where are these questions asked. Despite the media coverage of the “trivia of the day” and their producer’s “spokesperson” I don’t see the coverage. Perhaps it is too bleak. The poor under -in formed public!!!!

Everyone wants somebody to listen to them pontificate on something. It’s a natural thing. But to use this sort of communication for these purposes is an affront to the sensibilities. Everyone wants to be a “spokes person” at some level.

More about the “under informed public” in future issues of this blogger. Faithfully yours, Bill T.
