It seems to me that every thing in this country that becomes news quickly becomes news that either benefits the Republics or the Democrats and hurts the party that it doesnt benefit. Soon, it becomes a topic wherein one or the other political party runs from or runs to in efforts to promote their ideology whilst shutting down the other party. Eventually, it doesnt even matter whether Americans where killed in another country; the planets ecosystem is being destroyed; someone has healhcare; or, we -- as a country -- spend less than our tax base takes in! It only matters whether its helping each respective party beat the other one down. Ive witnessed Americans say: Who cares about those people that died -- thats old news; and, I hope that health care system fails so ... Does it even matter anymore whats good for our country? Once again, its become a tug-a-war-nightly newscast where the parties decidedly bash the other instead of working towards solutions that better our society. The masses are pawns in a game of ratings and theyve lost touch with what really matters because of the soap opera type drama they are addicted to between the Repubs and Dems. Somehow I feel stupid for not noticing this sooner and for allowing myself to let topics that concern this country become political. To steal a concept from Martin Luther King, maybe one day we will judge this countrys news, not by the colorful ratings, but by the content of its news worthiness. Maybe you and I will develop more common sense and more common ground and rise above the common man who is lost in common TV ratings. Wouldnt that be extraordinary? I dont want to be manipulated anymore -- Im going to base my opinion on the matter at hand -- the hell with what party it benefits. Please dont debate me politically or you will have lost the meaning of this post. I dont want to debate. Thanks.
