stupid attention-grabbing headlines

fbi tries to fight zombie hordes. that is a news story headline at bbc news. i have seen this kind of sensationalist bullshit many times before. you get a lot more of it from a tabloid news source than a reputable one. but even the reputable ones seem to be full of shit nowadays. the bbc is the most reputable news organization in the world. so this means, by extension, the rest of the news organizations are even worse than the bbc. so, logically, it makes sense to avoid paying any attention to the news, since the news is sensationalist bullshit that tries to trick you into actually paying attention to uninteresting things when nothing interesting is actually happening, but you don’t find that out until it is too late and you have already wasted your short attention span on it. so don’t waste any of your attention span on the news. stay uninformed. most people are uninformed anyway, so this just makes you one of them. if the news people can’t just tell the news to us straight, why waste time on them? keep your brain empty... at least then you will have enough space left to learn something new, if the need ever arises.
