I remember a time, long, long ago. During that time, fledgling ESPN aired sporting events, nothing but sporting events, no "enlightened" commentary, 24/7. If you couldn't sleep, you could turn on ESPN and watch Canadian Curling or Chinese Ping Pong or whatever.

During those Grand Old Days, MTV aired MUSIC videos 24/7. A lot of classic, non-sensational videos that were about unadorned music were featured.

In those grand old days there was 8PM family hour on TV. It was high quality TV, appropriate for the family to watch together. Oh, yeah, and the Disney network was about wholesome programming for children, that the whole family could enjoy.

How did things go so wrong? One can't help but wonder if it was by some grand design, to destroy the fiber of the best most decent society the world has ever known.

End of pondering.

Misdirection -

You're looking over here while the government / statist media complex and the financial system is stealing your money over there.

They're afraid if you actually start paying attention, you'll become very, very angry -
