News Media:

The News Media is now comprised of “Stars”. All are “experts”, “analysts”, and “commentators”; no one just reports the news any more. Why, that’s easy, because they all earn far more money than the people/subjects they are “reporting” on. And, like politicians, they have to keep their “ratings” up or they will be “out of office.” So, like politicians, they will say and do just about anything to keep their ratings up – even if it means stretching the truth a little, or inferring bad situations (spreading rumors).

The one nice thing about News Media Stars is that they generally don’t look like the more weight-challenged, old, rhetoric-spouting politicians – many are young, attractive, alpha-type females that were/are lawyers. Yep, I hear them “roar!” Was wondering if modern News Director’s employ a “casting couch” when hiring their “Media Stars”. I guess “journalism majors” just aren’t smart enough or attractive enough to be Network TV News Anchors.

My Solution:

I don’t think there is one, now, they are bigger, smarter, and even have more power than elected officials – they can make or break elected officials! An alternative use for them, Media Stars, would be to have them run for public offices and "run the country!" After all, they always seem to know “what should be done!”
