Am I the only one who knows that a high percentage of what we see on TV is bullshit. Why is most of the bullshit about negative subjects? Why can't the media wait until they know the full truth before they put it on TV? It's simple, if the real truth turns out to be nothing interesting they believe we won't watch it. 

Saddam Hussein didn't have weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), but he did have control of a lot of oil. At the time of the Iraq war the Western Countries were concerned about not having enough oil to fuel our growth. We knew, even if Hussein had WMDs what could he do with it? Blow up the world - I don't think so.

However, the media wouldn't get a boost in news if it was only about oil. Could you imagine "Iraq has oil America wants - I Know It's True Cause I Saw It On TV. That wouldn't get many people to watch NBC because everybody knows America wanted more oil.


What if Iran gets a nuclear weapon? Are they going to blow up Israel creating a nuclear cloud that will kill the people from many Arab states including their partner Hezbollah and Syria? Even if they did, in about two minutes after launch, the Western countries would destroy Iran. 

If you think I'm talking out of my ass then why didn't Russia use its WMDs against Europe or America during the cold war? The answer is the same reason Iran won't use their nuclear weapons. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to convince Iran to stop creating a nuclear weapon because they might give some crazy group the capability (some say they are already doing that today). However, blowing up their current capability as Israel wants to do is not a good strategy. Heavy sanctions might work, but it may also force Iran to go to war with our friends. 

When people get hungry (because of our sanctions) they will do horrible things to get out of their plight. Hitler was put into power on the promise he would make things better for the German people. He did so by finding a scapegoat to blame (the Jews) and going to war with the rest of the world. Many Germans did get a significant improvement in their lives and because of that many ignored the atrocities that Hitler created. 

Forcing Iran to go to war by sanctions or a military strike is not the solution. Russia has WMDs, North Korea has WMDs, China has WMDs, Pakistan has WMDs. Israel has WMDs. Nobody is shooting them off because history has shown the world what disaster happened when we used and atomic weapon. A nuclear weapon is many, many, many times more destructive.

Sooo, what if the media said: "Iran might get a nuclear weapon, but they won't use it - I Know It's True Cause I Saw It On TV. That wouldn't get many viewers to watch ABC. Doom and Gloom is a story. The real truth just isn't that interesting. Many of you probable think I'm too left wing because I'm suggesting that if the talks with Iran fail, stand back, let them get a nuclear weapon and see what happens next. 

We have stood back and watched all the other countries with WMDs. Why is Iran so much different? North Korea and Pakistan make me more uneasy that Iran. Also, I'm sure America and the other Western Countries already have a way of destroying any threat from these countries. Because I live in a positive energy world, maybe, just maybe, once Iran has a nuclear weapon and feel safer from the West, they might even choose to help their economy by doing business with the West.

I'm not being naive. I truly believe more sanctions and/or blowing them up will guarantee they will become a threat. I also truly believe that letting them live with a WMD will have much less of a negative impact than what I'm seeing on TV. I predict the media will say; "Iran has agreed to work with the West" - I Know It's True Cause I Saw It On TV.

Now on the lighter side, who gives a shit about a deflated football? The media is making it sound like the Patriots have destroyed football because their balls have 2PSI less than standard. I only wish my balls had 2PSI less. In the final analysis, nothing bad happened to the NFL and at worst, the NFL might find out a minimum wage ball guy made a mistake.

But, oh no, the TV loves this story and has been milking it for two weeks. Maybe NBC thinks that more people will watch the Super Bowl because of "deflategate." What if the media started this by saying: "the deflated balls had nothing to do with the outcome of the game and most probably some Ball Boy made a mistake." I Know It's True Cause I Saw It On TV. The publicity would have ended that day and the media would have to find some other NEGATIVE programing to keep people watching.

"The Vietnam War was necessary to preserve America's way of life" - I Know It's True Cause I Saw It On TV

"Police kill innocent black people all the time" - I Know It's True Cause I Saw It On TV

"Terrorists are going to destroy America" - I Know It's True Cause I Saw It On TV

I'm calling bullshit to all of that. Vietnam was never a threat to America. We were just concerned it would make China stronger. We got in like we did in Iraq, thinking it will all be over in a few months. Remember the shock and awe bullshit. Well the truth was that once we got in we need to win just to save face. We all know how that bullshit idea worked out.

Police are not sitting in their room figuring out how many Blacks they can kill today. Guns in America are out of control. Too many people have them. The Police know this and are powerless to stop it. Being a Police Person is a scary job. Police are just people like us. Some can contain their fears some cannot. If a burglar came into your house at midnight and you had a gun, would you fire if they came toward you even if he didn't have a gun? Some would and some wouldn't. That's what Police deal with every day. 

The Police are not out to get us. They are trying to protect us, but, they are human so they are also trying to protect themselves. A tiny few overact and do something they shouldn't do. They are a very, very small minority. 

The media needs to get all the facts right before they put negative bullshit out on the airwaves. What the TV did accomplish was a riot. What the TV did accomplish was to make Black people feel inferior. What the TV did accomplish was to show there are uneducated and miss-informed Black thugs in this country. What the TV didn't explain was that Police have a very difficult job, Black people are not inferior and that Black thugs are a tiny, tiny, tiny minority of the rest of the Black population.

The last one is that Terrorists will destroy America. The media makes us feel that there are thousands of millions of Terrorists around the world. It's bullshit. The media makes you think they are taking over countries like Hitler did. The media makes us think America is next. Again, all of that is bullshit. 

If you add them all up there are many thousands NOT many millions of Terrorists. They have taken a few towns NOT a Country. They could so some destruction in American, but America didn't go down on 9/11. 

We are trying to stop them without using military people. I applaud that strategy. I guess we learned something from Iraq and Vietnam. However, if they piss the Western World and some Arab Countries off enough where we say: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore," The West and the Arabs will send in the troops and it might take too long and it might cause many causalities, but they will be destroyed. America will survive. Terrorists will never win out over democracy. 


Sooo, hay you media people, stop putting bullshit on TV. Get the facts. Explain both sides of each issue. Stop believing the only way to get a lot of people to watch is by producing negative stories. Make me proud so I can really believe:
