FLIPIN"GATE

I am so tired of these lame news people trying to come up with some 'GATE' added to the content of their storries. Come on it's been over thirty years ago the Watergate episode happened. Has journalism sunk so low, or become so populated with sub-efficient wordsmiths that everything need be postfixed with 'GATE' ...? Come on, wheres the creativity? or is that only a memory from the Golden Days of news reporting. Any LOP can add 'gate' to the news item, so it might be worthwile to learn the context to use it, if you must. As for me....I likely skip every news item with Gate in it as something likely to be poorly written and expressed. Another thing as of late is Yahoo's news storries, or better put, 'FAIL' attempts to educate the masses with their usually always numbered expose' ie. 'ten things your mechanic wont tell you' or The seven best salads from fast food or Wallmarts 15 worst sellers.....you get the idea, all these 'OPINION' little tirades from wana'be editors who are barely sufficient to gather news. I'll tell you something...... I gave up TV some years ago, and I do NOT miss it one bit. It's been the pablum of America since the 40's and 50's, taking the place of actually living in the real world, now you can do it remotly without breaking a sweat, be an armchair king. Media in these modern times is poorly lacking, theres no protagonist/antagionist to the plot, it usually a he said, she said, disjointed blabber of whatever little gimick might capture 'itchy eyes', or the cliff-hanger wording to capture your interest, move your curser and click onto it. The times of one rising to their full potential are for the most part, long gone, that and the goverment wanting to regulate our lives and save us from ourselves, life in the USA has become a joke, not something our founding fathers had envisoned. Were quickly becoming the nation of lowered expectations, that is, especially if any effort is required like actually moving parts of your body and risking the unknown condition called 'SWEATING' for a living. Well I'm out'a here, got work to do, yes, I'm actually going to get cardio-vascular........imagine that...........mabe cardio-gate......
