It's not...
...actually the media's fault per se.

It's the fucking morons like us that are so used to being spoon fed what to think that we can't look beyond the headlines.

If we stop lapping it up they will stop printing it.

Or, failing that, (because I would be a total hypocrite if I didn't admit to reading these stories) if people at least (re?)developed a tiny bit of independant thought and critical faculty they would look past that and try to understand for themselves what was happening.

And, to be fair, what is happening is very bad news. It's not the end of the world that the media would have you believe, but it's really not a great place to be.

but, just think for your fucking selves people. I've made horrible mistakes about how I've lived my life, but I've learnt.

You don't need to believe The Sun, you don't need to have some 'expert' on the BBC tell you what is going on.

Fuck, sorry. Rant over.
