Media Analysis

It's the age of analysis. Over-analyzing and dissecting has become a norm, be it sports, politics or Paris Hilton. You see people like Bill O'Riley, Lou Dobbs, Wolfblitzer etc. pounding on the same topic every freaking day. Some people are on air for so long every day that 75% of what they say is filler stuff. This is best described in everyday clippings that the Daily Show with Jon Stewart assembles which displays a repitition of statements by different news networks which are nothing but sheer BS.

It's the same thing in sports. TO is now in Dallas and didn't practice due to an injury for some time until a couple days ago. Media who had reveled in TO's antiques in Philly want to see the same here and they are doing their best to develop the rift. But coach Bill Parcels handled it greatly yesterday, I think, when he went after the media and told them that "...use your head ... it's practice... that's what we do".

And now we have stupid commentators who just can't shut up during the game. I heard one of them saying "That's an angry parent look. I've given that look myself". Shut the f up and watch the game. Who the hell cares that you give looks.

Then there's events like these - a 59 year old lady is tackled by two men and shackled in a plane because she was pacing and anxious and claustrophobic while another woman at an airport was not yet arrested after she was found with some liquid that came positive in 2 separate tests as being an explosive.

The solutions to the most complex problems in life are very simple, when you find it i.e. However, the media wants to do the opposite. They want to take a simple situation and twist it and juice it and make lives miserable for people involved and people watching.

Spare me!!
