tv news networks don't think very highly of the public

i usually don't watch news on the tv news channels, mostly because i think they're so terrible. but every once in a while i get in a situation where i'm basically stuck in front of a screen without the ability to change the channel. situations like when i'm stuck in the airport.

anyway, it's really remarkable to watch these channels go apeshit over the prospect that some beaten and broken detainees will be transferred to a supermax facility in new york. they're treating the american public like they're a bunch of scaredy-cats, who are liable to shit their pants at the sound of the letters KSM.
