Pima County Sherrif

Following the Gabrielle Giffords shooting incident, the sheriff of Pima County, Clarence Dupnik had shared some good insight about blame and cause:

"I think the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business and what (we) see on TV and how our youngsters are being raised, that this has not become the nice United States of America that most of us grew up in. And I think it's time that we do the soul-searching," the sheriff said.

"I think we're the tombstone of the United States of America," Dupnik said of The Granite State, which a day earlier he called the “Mecca” of hatred and bigotry. "To try to inflame the public on a daily basis 24 hours a day, seven days a week has impact on people, especially who are unbalanced personalities to begin with."

The sheriff is right. The mind warping 'news' that the mainstream media puts out every days is harming everyone in our society.  Why do we even nee the mainstream media?  They are just as prone, if not more, to not report the truth as is information that is found on the Internet.
