i never used to watch the television much.  or even listen to commercial
radio.  but now i've got to be on top of both for my job.  so i'm tuned
into cnn, etc all the time.  has CNN always been about the fooking market
or what?  i don't recall this aspect of it.  i mean, it's all about
watching the market.  and then i tune into internet radio for breaking news
for daily reports i do.....and that's all they friggin talk about too!!
how are the stocks doing.  blah blah blah.  and how this latest
announcement in the news will affect stocks blah blah blah.  has anyone
analyzed this phenom?   historical trends as to how much news time is
devoted to this shit.  a classic example used in media soc is to discuss
the "social construction" of the news -- and the tilt toward the market in
the news.  so it's been around a while.  but this is absurd.  but i don't
know.  maybe there is no more time devoted to this than previously and it's
just that i didn't pay attn.   is it just me and tendency to avoid the
mainstream news media like that plague that i've justmissed out on all the
fun in the past decade or so?

man,  i'd really rather be watching guiding light.

or camp barf on the disney chanel.
