I do agree with a lot you are saying @wakeupkitty, but no twith everything. I think if you don't inform yourself via more than only one medium, which might be the internet in your case, you will not receive the whole truth. I do hate the headlines too, but it is important to know.
Every generation will blame the older generation for things which went wrong. This has always been and will always be, where I especially mean the politicians after elections. But they do not try to repair what has gone wrong - they blame and they make something completely different, what costs a lot of money again.
I should not moan, I should make it better, but I am too lazy for that and I could never make politics ;)
