You got Ebola here,
You got Ebola there.
You got Ebola here and you make yourself a scare.
Make yourself a scare and you put it on the air,
That's what it's all about!
BTW, not making fun of the disease, which is in itself quite scary, or the poor people who suffer and die from it. Just mocking the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality of those who bring us "the news".

ReplyDeleteTo me it seems that ebola is the latest distraction from much bigger news. Forget Benghazi, forget the IRS scandal, forget Fast and Furious - LOOK OVER HERE! CNN spent a month discussing a missing plane. Granted it's a real news story, and so is Ebola, but neither merit lead items status for more than a day, unless something big actually develops around them. The fact that ebola is a scary disease only helps aid the distraction.
ReplyDeleteNow I've got that song stuck in my head...
This is the first president in my half century memory to have one scandal piled upon another like this. The lack of accountability or even outrage tells me that unfortunately, the American people may be getting exactly the representation they deserve.
