The pornography of anxiety

I made the mistake of pausing briefly on Fox News as I was flipping through the channels today, and had the misfortune of seeing a few minutes of the Glenn Dreck Beck program… He had a couple of guests on who were helping him fantasize about the very worst-case scenarios they could dream up for the next five years… It’s not that I think that some anxiety about the future isn’t justified; of course it is. But these guys were positively drooling over the horrible possibilities. They were fixating on them with a sort lustful glee. I’d never imagined that there could be a pornography of anxiety, but there you have it. Anything for ratings.

    You have reality backwards.

    I made the mistake of pausing briefly on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS as I was flipping through the channels today and had the misfortune of seeing a few minutes of the fawning, fascist Pravda West news medium’s talking heads discussing how great Hussein Obama, the Kenyon imposter and Muslim agitator is for the USA. In truth, none of their endless propaganda fantasies about how great the Muslim messiah is for America has any bearing in reality when you considering the misery Hussein is engineering for the average American with his theft of American wealth. These channels promote a fascist agenda against te American peoples. Indeed, “These guys were positively drooling over the horrible possibilities. I’d never imagined that there could be a pornography of anxiety, but there you have it. Anything for ratings.”

    Mr Glen beck is describing the reality of our situation, while Hussein’s Pravda MSM promote his muslim agitator’s fascist delusions. Hussein wants to destroy America, while Mr Beck is trying to save the US.
