Hail the 'blogosphere'

A vacuous, unrelenting diet of character assassination, baseless innuendo coupled with deeply biased reporting has rendered mainstream media the indisputable laughing stock of thoughtful and fair-minded Americans.

Enter alternative information gathering, reinforced by the blogosphere and selective social media committed to fact over mindless, endless editorializing which terminally poisoned a once-professional journalistic discipline.

Celebrate and perpetuate the miracle of capitalism with which we cleanse our wondrously free airways of sleaze, hate-driven rhetoric and widespread fake news thereby rejecting it utterly and completely

America, land of the free: open-minded thinkers emboldened and reinforced by honest, critical analysis and home of the brave: decent, dedicated citizens in search of the truth, undaunted by fear or uncertainty with an abiding faith in the promise of our founders' sacrifice and courage. Unmask our fear-stricken minds as we, loyal devoted Americans, retake the high ground across the fruited ­plain.
