The world is conspiring to sadden me today. I imagine 10,000 lusting freaks in suits scouring the webs for the pictures from the prison. Each with some personal justification about how they have a right to see them. How the truth must be revealed. Why does every photo still of the beheading in the news one frame closer to the actual beheading? How does our national pride survive the sensationalism and morbid curiosity? How long before other countries start looking at us as slavering beasts with no sense of decency. Willing to look at any atrocity as long as it's in a news clip.
I will acknowledge the atrocity, I do not flinch or hide from the brutality of the world, but I will not discuss such deviant behavior in the lunchroom while fat women and men cram muffins and cookies, with gleaming beady rat eyes hoping for some new scoop they can run to look up this new development. I am disgusted and saddened, I wonder how far I have helped further these glamourizers, sensationalists, PROFITEERS of this national disgrace. This flaunting of the American perversity, which disallows public nudity and rock stars from grabbing themselves yet showers everyone with death and sex and abuse of the human spirit. Another generation being led to the moral vacuum which is the national media.
American heritage dictionary definition for JOURNALISM:
The style of writing characteristic of material in newspapers and magazines, consisting of direct presentation of facts or occurrences with little attempt at analysis or interpretation.
I guess you can stretch the "little attempt" pretty far here in America.
