Well I was seeing clips of this whole Saudi bowing fiasco and it brought to mind all of the goofy ass scandals and whathaveyou that the media has drummed up over the last while. What I remembered is an incident that irrefutably proves that the media is a worthless pile of shit that serves nobody

I thought back to that one scandal during the Primaries...remember this..when both Obama and Clinton were on Capital Hill. Hillary supposedly reached out to shake Obama's hand but, as a demonstration of bad blood, Obama rebuffed her and turned his back. 

 Remember that that incident was all the old tyme media (meaning radio/tv news) could talk about for at least a whole weekend...maybe a week.

This pic was everywhere for at least 48 hours:

I remembered this incident, and I recalled how exercised and apoplectic commentators were getting over it, and I thought: did this 'scandal' have any tangible affect, whatsoever?

Well, Hillary is now Secretary of State and,by most accounts, she and Obama have a good relationship.

Turns out that this incident which dominated the newscoverage for days, was bullshit.

But it's just one of the many bogus news stories the old tyme media drums up to make its 24/7 newscycle seem relevent
