The Chinese have been accused of "faking" the Olympics. I saw this reported on Fox News this morning by very earnest news-readers, all couched in the context of exploiting two poor little 7-year-old girls.
Leaving to one side the fact that the little girls will be completely unable to even understand why the producers involved performed the lip-sync, I find it one of the most richly ironic issues to make the news this year that the televised media is accusing the Chinese -or anyone- of televised fakery, since ALL televised news deals in fakery 24/7.
Are significant numbers of stories on national news relating to such persons as Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Michael Jackson, et. al., ad infinitum, anything but the most abject fakery?
Is employing grinning fools like Steve Ducey on Fox News, solemnly telling me that stories like the man who taught his pet rabbit to swim in his pool is "news" anything but fakery?
Is the array of meaty, loudmouth suits employed as TV "attack dogs" like Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews, Neal Cavuto, and Keith Olbermann anything but distasteful and low-rent fakery?
Are all the pairs of expensively waxed legs dressed in short skirts, displayed daily with crotch pointed at camera, topped by an elegant coiffure and a mouth in between that can barely read a teleprompter anything but fakery?
To paraphrase Oliver Cromwell, You are all useless, go away...... or at least shut up.
