If you love horror films then you may be able to stomach the news. But for the sensitive, the news is just too much. I can’t watch the ideocracy take over our government like an all-consuming blob of greed and stupidity.

Indeed, the stats show that news viewing is down. Even though the election was the most watched event of the year, post-election news viewing is down. MSNBC decreased year to date by 51%, and CNN is down 26%. But not Fox News. The Radical Right is seething like rabid foxes, with a 58% increase.

This doesn’t mean that people are watching less boob-tube and getting outside for walks. General TV watching has increased 5% in November with watching the Tyson-Paul boxing matches and Lincoln Lawer. We just love watching people be nasty to each other. No wonder we have the president we have. I’m blaming the World Wide Wrestling Federation, whose viewing fan base has increased by 200%. I mean, don’t today's newly elected officials resemble wrestling goons?

Here is a clip from fox news-

Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, a former pro wrestler, asked Trump for his backing at WrestleMania XX in an on-camera exchange, “If I were to get back into politics, could I expect your moral and financial support?”

“One hundred percent,” Trump answered.

“You know what?” Ventura asked the crowd at one point. “I think th

Battle of the Billionaires, 2007, was an event where Vance McMahon bet Trump on a match that the winner would shave the other’s head. Trump’s bet won of course, because isn’t it all staged for fun and games?

Even we liberal’s love WWE. Maybe I’m talkin’ about you. You a WWE-hippie?

Humans are so funny. We are suckers for glitz, drama, and hype. Now, we can’t even have a normal political world because it’s been WWE-ified. It’s all about who can yell the most ridiculous things and make a scene. Presidential attitudes used to be about intelligence, but there is a steady decline in that arena. It started with Regan – now that was some wholesome entertainment. Then, in 2000, when Gore rambled off facts about global warming, Bush Jr. said something like, – I don’t know about all those numbers; just give me a chainsaw, and I’ll cut it in half.
The depth of political affinity is a superficial connection. Reagan’s movies were fun - he’s a good guy. Bush Jr. wears a cowboy hat, and I wear a cowboy hat. Trump is a manly man who likes pro wrestling, and I like pro wrestling.

Is human intelligence waning because of the consumption of crass and deranged programming, or does the programming reflect what people are really like? It’s the chicken or the egg argument.

We are in for some real entertainment as we watch the whole government turn into a dysfunctional three-ring circus. Wheee! The tension is like when the creepy music comes on, the door clicks open, and the heroine says, “Is that you, Donald?” We know it’s going to be bad.
