The last time the media got you mad?

I was reading the paper* earlier and came across this opinion piece. Allow me to quote (and correct their grammatical and punctuation errors while I'm at it): [quote][b]BOYS WILL BE BOYS (and girls will be girls)[/b] Not so long ago[,] the [']progressive['] headmistress of a very smart all-girls' boarding school invited me to dinner with some of her brightest [S]ixth[-]formers. One by one[,] the girls were asked to tell me of their impressive future plans: "Engineering, Cambridge; physics, Oxford; maths, Imperial; an astronaut; a mining engineer; a brain surgeon..." "And which of you just wants to settle down and bring up a family?" I interrupted, partly to annoy the zappy, go-ahead, right-on headmistress but partly out of genuine curiosity. The girl I most admired was the single one to raise her hand. It takes real courage these days for a girl to fight against the political correctness of our time and follow her true nature.[/quote] Nope. I thwacked the rag shut, spilling a sheet or two onto the floor, prompting a "Really?" out of my sister, watching Gray's Anatomy. We get a lot of that these days: backwards media outlets so enamoured with the 'good old days' that they feel the need to call out any attempt to mix things up a bit, which any person with an iota of common sense knows is basically to broaden people's options and minds and give them a little more fulfillment and satisfaction out of life. But anyway. When was the last time the media got you mad? inb4neo-con trolls bitching about the media trying to be nice to people. *Hard to call the Daily Express a 'newspaper', but it is technically constructed of paper.

  • I suppose the whole Justin Bieber fiasco has got me eye rolling recently, especially with the crap going in the Ukraine. Also, [quote]her true nature[/quote] Shouldn't that be a fruit gathering tribal woman instead of a house wife?
