Maybe never?

Depends. We now have alternative media in talk radio and the Internet, which more and more people are turning to in order to get past the shallow mainstream press sensationalism and hype. The media is changing, but he who controls communication controls culture is a fact that has always been true and will never change.

We are having a storm in Colorado and you'd think it is the worst thing that could have happened watching the news. So, they get out and film a car sliding on the ice. The reality is we were 50% below our annual snow fall last week. The Snow in the Colorado Rockies is the water shed for much of the South Western USA. Colorado depends on snow for one of its major industries, ski tourism. We are semi-arid climate where water is wealth. It puts apples on the trees and tomatoes in the garden. The MSM should be cheering, like the people I passed taking a walk this morning who were talking about their next ski trip. Even bigger great news is the white out blizzard hitting Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas, and Illinois, then moving on to more farm states ... Remember the Midwestern Draught we are having???

"Maybe never?"

Probably never. It's the result of having to fill the 24/7 news cycle.
