The Media is informative, right?

The media has many outlets for information, newspapers,television, radio, and the internet. Now one would think with these various sources of information the masses should be well informed and worldly in their day to day activites and conversations. But now the media has sold out and is content with flooded our newsbroadcasts with glamourous, fantanstic,insufficent, shallow, and unworthy crap about celebrities. Instead of things that could be deem more news worthy like the riots and invisble childern of Africa. They fill my primetime tv with New York newest boyfriend and how Jessica Alba is now pregnat, instead of hearing about whether or not the DREAM Act has been passed or not. My little cousins know more about the latest Britney incident than they do about their own school. And that's sad I mean heck even Fall Out Boy has seen how far our media efficency has declined that they have started putting worldy events and problems into their videoes. In their latest video "I'm Like an Lawyer How I'm always trying to get your off", you can simply Google or Youtube it. What does the media beleive that we're stupid,fragile, and too innocent to handle the real world outside of OC and Glamtown, USA. I am hurt by this and feel shame over it, why do we have so many shows about celebrites and their lives.? Why do we need to watch them day in and day out ? Are they that important that we can take time out of our busy lives and stop to watch their "real" lives at 9:00P.M. Eastern time. All the shows are simply reruns of eachother anyway from Eyecandy off of Vh1 to TMZ , they all show the same thing. Stars messing up or getting in trouble, what's so cool about that? They're just people who have large amounts of money yes, but people none the less. I think America and the media has lost sight of that or has put too much pressure on them to be so much more than human that they couldn't stand seeing them being anything else. I care less, the more important thing is that our generations are getting dumber and dumber , they care less about voting and graduating and more so Preze Hilton's newest rant and Souljia Boy's new video ad dance. All because the media is afraid to air the real news afraid of what type of Armageton that might ignite. Psst, well I don't care the media is suppose to be informative, so why isn't it?
