Bipolar Media Disorder

If you took the time to watch Loose Change's 9/11 conspiracy movie, you could be immersed in information that could drive you to truly believe that our US Government somehow planned the entire world trade centers and pentagon air strikes.

But, if you then took more time to visit Salon.com's "Ask the Pilot", you might not only be pulled back into a less suspicious stance, you might also assume a new stance of anger against Loose Change for purportedly bending the facts to make their claims appear legit.

This is not unlike what one has to do with regards to the news today. If we truly want to be fair and balanced, we must make the time to hear the news from two or more sources because our news sources are no longer typically non-biased. One hour you may watch Bill O'Reilly and get all fired up about some new bill Congress is trying to pass and the Democrats are voting to block it, then the next hour you watch Keith Olbermann & get more details to the point you might agree the bill should be killed.

One moment you're watching Tucker [Carlson] express his views (even though it's supposed to look like an interview where he gets information from his guest) and the next you might see Lou Dobbs cover the same issue from another angle that sheds new light.

Who in the hell has the time to watch opposing angles on the news in order to draw their own level-headed distinction? Maybe President Bush isn't the only one who decides with their gut, versus their head.

More importantly, when will we see a commercial for a new drug to cure our latest dilemma: Bipolar Media Disorder (a.k.a.: Restless Brain Syndrome)?
