[QUOTE=monster_monster;217825]finally someone speaking sense, why do people only read one news medium and then spout it off like gospel truth. People are too lazy these days to read a few different opinions and make up their own mind, how hard is it to set up a few RSS feeds, once you have that done all the news comes to you and you don't have to do anything else but read it.[/QUOTE

People don't realized that 'the Media' isn''t just there to entertain you, it's there to brainwash you. The whole 'Celtic Tiger' thing was a brilliant marketing tool fuelled by 'the Media'- people were encouraged to spend, spend, spend-from where? The Media. '' Sex in the city'' wasn't just a TV show, it was an adverticement for Luxury goods purchased with cheap easy credit.
