Media gone crazy

I thought it was interesting today watching CNN…someone brought up the fact that the Media must have gone crazy…the only things that they have to say against President Obama is that there is an extra in a music video that looks like him and that he’s not showing enough emotion about the oil spill. I mean, what do these people really want? him to break down in sobs so that he can appear weak to the entire nation instead of strong and level headed. They even insulted the fact that he was in business pants when he was down on the site…what did they expect for a Presidential Press Event? I thought that the reporter who was commenting about this whole drama made a good point when he posed the question, do you want the President to play act the part for you, or go ahead and actually do something…
I have to wonder how often it is that the media gets people all hyped up about the wrong issues and how often people are pulled into the drama of the media craze….How often do people put their own priorities, thoughts and feelings aside because they have become caught up in the media frenzy and are now stuck on the point that has been driven into their head every time they have turned on the news or looked at the paper.
I wish our country would go back to thinking for themselves instead of being programmed into thinking whatever other people want them to think.
