At dinner last night, several of my friends mentioned the Daily Show's take on the Medicare VNR. I've been so focused on basketball I didn't know what they were talking about. I thought they were pulling my leg. Now, lo and behold, I found it not only happened, this sort of thing apparently is happening more and more often. And according to HHS, I must be a dolt for not knowing this is commonplace. Stupid me. I actually still think news is produced by...gasp, news organizations.

I'm not sure which is more cause for outrage: the creators of such propoganda or the stupid or lazy (or both) news editors that allow it to air. Big Brother is here -- and growing stronger by the day.
