I really think this describes our current media situation:

All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be O.K.
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Maybe I'm the ****** America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Don't wanna be an American Idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to Idiot America

We really do live in an age of hysteria. No one reports the news anymore, they report stuff and check facts later, consequences be damned.I quit watching the news the day we invaded Iraq (again). If it's that important someone will tell me (is Regan still dead? How about the Pope?). I do read the news online but you can't get heads or tails from it. Even the stuff coming from other countries has a bias and as all things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
