This is why American Journalism is shit

I came across this.   http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/02/04/study-moms-work-schedule-making-kids-fat/

and i just find it insulting. According to this if  are a mom and you work your kid will be fat. Why can't the Dad cook or shop? it gives no explanation. In fact it gives  no mention anywhere of a father or the idea of a child having 2 parents. This is just a shot at working mothers. There is no excuse for there not to be a mention that maybe break the "traditional roles' and have the parent who works less cook and do the shopping.

In the time it took me to log into my blog to write about this and the time i read it (<10 minutes). The expanded  article has appeared to have been taken down. So i am posting the original news bit that I came across and hopefully it will be put back up so you can read this.

As someone who comes from a home where both parents worked 40 or more hours a week I can tell you there is still time for a family meal to be cooked.

I will be trying to find the " February issue of the journal Child Development." and read them study. It might redeem the study as a scientifically valid study (still pointless since it is information we already know).

However the fact does not change that the Article written on it is slanted  and biased. There is nothing wrong with writing a biased piece my favorite journalist did it all the time. But Thompson admitted it.

You cannot change data that is bad journalism and that is why American journalism died when Hunter S Thompson blew his brains out. The last shred of dignity left American Journalism died with him. And I don't see a way we as a nation can get back the dignity we once had in the field of journalism.

I weep for future generations. What are they going to do when a major story breaks and the news is too busy covering which celebrity fuck-tard just flashed there asshole in public to cover A radical extremist just killed the president because space monkeys told him to(biggest most outlandish story I could think of off the top pf my head).

Anger is all i feel

I've been rather angry at the world lately. I lost faith in humanity a long time ago. But i have nowhere to direct all this anger at.I started this blog because i want o get out some of the anger i feel to do that I've given some thought to using this blog to review things that make me angry  so i would like some ideas from you not only what you'd like to see me get angry at but maybe some ways to direct my anger somewhere.

My beliefs

OK so I make reference to my 3 tenets of belief fairly often. What most people don't know is what my beliefs actually are .
I have been through a lot of deep thinking and self exploration.

Not that kind of self exploration
(credit for this pic goes to http://bronxbanter.baseballtoaster.com/archives/1151896.html )

through the years i realized what i believe and came up with 3 things that i believe in

The first thing i believe in is Family.
As anyone who knows me can tell you i have a close extensive family. I also include good friends into my definition of family not just relatives

You have to keep your family They help remind you what your roots are and where you can go. Plus they can always be counted on in a time of need.

The 2nd thing that i believe in is Honor.

This is the hard one to define because I don't live by a code of honor I just try to do the right thing and be the best at what i can.

To live with honor You must work hard and deal fairly in business and do what you think is right AT ALL TIMES.And tell the truth whenever you can


Exceptions must be made ("Does this make me look fat")


The Final Thing I believe in is love.

I believe in romantic true love

its that simple find true love(so far I have failed at this tenet the most).

As far as Religious or Existential beliefs I'm a nihilist so i hold onto these 3 tenets pretty hard or what else is there if you don't have Love family and Honor.

current state of being / sanity/ urge to kill

I found out to day that someone i work with's sister died last week. I do not like this person She is one of several reasons i transferred departments. But here is the thing

I felt no sympathy for her at all. I have lost many loved ones over the past years and  I always feel sad/ sympathy for people when they loose someone even if i don't care for that person.

That was not the case today I realized that i am slipping further and further away into the void of nothingness.

I felt no compassion for the loss of a human life that i can put a name to. that disturbs me because I feel it violates one of the 3 tenets of my belief system(more to come on a later post).  The fact that i am feeling less and less connected to people is not a good thing it paves the way for my asshole nature to do whatever it wants and i have no idea where that will lead.
