Some "Good" NEWS, for a CHANGE?
They call our generation "Silent" (birth year, 1939), because we elected no President from our generation. Given what the "Presidency" and the process that activates it, has come to today, we did this nation a favor, I guess. For those dwindling numbers of us still here, there is a treasure trove of information and insight available from the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. It seems that most of our citizens today are "not interested" -- even while living through "echoes" of those horrific events!
That is especially true of our Cable Media Outlets, led by FOX and followed by CNN. Perfecting what Goebbels accomplished with lesser technologies at the time of my birth, these outlets "own" the minds of too many of that Silent Generation; remaining among us. It's a special type of cruelty to "psyche" and "plumb" these old minds for past racist social habits, after they have struggled for so long to convince themselves that they have "overcome" those practices and beliefs.
C-SPAN remains popular among this group, but, unfortunately, it sweeps in a panoply of other belief systems. On today show, they featured in-depth coverage of a new study, Media Insight Project, http://www.americanpressinstitute.org/publications/reports/survey-research/personal-news-cycle/
Google it! Read their findings; they show how our news consumption is presently segmented by age, devices used, type of media, etc.
Our "Silent" Generation is surprisingly "savvy" about what is happening to them, our nation, and the world.
We have money, we read, we were taught to speak clearly, listen well, and to THINK! Not so, for the generations that followed us.
Stay Vigilant! We may live long enough to help save this nation (again)! You 'young-uns' had better be careful, Rush Limbaugh is writing books for your babies. He' obviously projecting new markets ahead?
