I turned the news on this morning. Strange as it seems, I do like to see what is going on around me in this world. Then, of all things, I was treated to 30 minutes about Matthew Perry, 10 minutes of weather and 10 minutes sports… that was slipped in between all the many commercials. And incidentally, somehow they did manage to have a few minutes of news.

As difficult as it may be to believe, Matthew Perry was not a head of state or even the head of a major business. I can’t think of one really important thing he did. He was an actor, a person who pretended to be someone else.

I never saw him before all the “news” about him. …sorry, not impressed. Be that as it may, I don’t think any actor deserves that much attention.

I suspect that it is but one reason our nation is having problems as we do. It would seem our media has decided to report just about anything but the news, especially when they feel they have something else more “important” to report on. It is keeping the public ignorant of current events.

I’m not sure which is worse…no news or twisted news. At this point, I am convinced it’s all we can expect.
