Tickle me pink because Sarah Palin has finally given an interview to “the press”, other than Fox that is – she was on Entertainment tonight with Mary Hart 2 x’s now - how funny! Yes, in America Fox is considered “the press”, just like Entertainment Tonight!
So, are you all looking forward to a Palin Presidency?
Excerpt … “It seems only a matter of time until we elect our first Reality TV President. We have been seduced by reality TV faces. We adore and idolize them. The so-called “tipping point” is coming. Over the last ten years we have had a parade of reality TV names that have captured our imagination and attention in ways that are hard to describe. Today it is Snooki. Paris Hilton had her moment, famous for her existence rather than substance. Omarosa was famous on Donald Trump’s The Apprentice. Famous for being tough and mean…I think. Jon & Kate Plus 8 were famous for being a family. Many faces have graced the TV cameras and captured our attention for reasons we can’t explain.”

To cite John Dewey:
‘Talk of democracy has little content when big business rules the life of the country through its control of the means of production, exchange, the press and other means of publicity, propaganda and communication’
