THERE'S A TRAILER ON HBO RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE NEW SEASON, WHICH IS ALL ABOUT THE MEDIA. GO PEEP IT! IT TALKS ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES IN THE MEDIA, AND HOW THE WHOLE THING IS A RACKET, ITS BUSINESS NOT NEWS. ITS NOT ABOUT KEEPING US INFORMED ITS NOT ABOUT TELLING THE TRUTH OR BEING HONEST. WHAT REALLY INTERESTED ME ABOUT THIS IS THE ISSUES IT ADDRESSES ON JOURNALISTS AND THE ROLE OF JOURNALISM IN GENERAL. THE IDEA OF A NEWSPAPER AND WHAT THAT MEANS, AND THE JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MEDIA TO THE PEOPLE. FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, THE WIRE HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB OF TELLING IT HOW IT IS IN BALTIMORE. WHICH I HEAR IS ACTUALLY WORSE THAN THEY PORTRAY IT IN THE SHOW. IF THAT'S REALLY TRUE, THATS FUCKING CRAZY!
THERE'S A QUOTE FROM DAVID SIMON THAT I REALLY LIKED. HE'S ONE OF THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS OF THE SHOW.
"WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY EXCEPT TO THE BOTTOM LINE, TO THE PRICE PER SHARE. THAT'S AMERICA!"
DAMN RIGHTT! AND ITS A DAMN SHAME.
SNEAK PEAKS FROM THE WIRE!
OH YES AND BECAUSE OF THIS YOUNG MAN. MR. TRISTAN WILDS. YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE HIM FROM THE 'ROC BOYS' VIDEO.
