A Dizzying Array of Faceless Cogs.

The main offense of the media today is the mirror image of what Edward R. Murrow faced in the fifties. An exact yet opposite replica. The one glaring difference is that the complacency-inducing padding which Murrow spoke of in the early days of televised media has now been replaced by sand-paper. As a result our nation has spawned an entire generation that is, at best, insulted and alienated by our government and at worst, callous and apathetic. A new media is needed. A clean slate.

The difficulty here is that the beasts of yesteryear such as Senator McCarthy were, although aparently unfamiliar with the concept of a witch-hunt, respectable enough to do their own spinning. It may have been a witch-hunt but at least McCarthy himself was holding the torch. The miraculous few who are not apathetic today have no one to point the finger at other than a baffling, faceless wall of beaurocracy and lies.

Meercats will often move in large groups during times of danger so as to appear to be a larger animal with no discernable vulnerability. It should be noted, however, that they do so out of a complete lack of ability to face the threat on any other grounds.
