End of the (NOT) World?

Lets face it, it hardly is, or is it? At least the world as we know it anyway. 
Scandal is everywhere, it's just a dramatised word for gossip imo. What has made Murdochs empire has ultimately been the downfall of it. Like most gossips, it isn't long before the subject of their idle conversations finds out and the tables are turned.
Inevitably once the gossip is out, it will stay out, you can not take away what has been said, however much truth or fiction is attached. So how is this the end of the world? Well our lives are lived through the media - consciously and sub consciously, our conversations revolve around the news and we are drawn to it like an old woman over the garden fence, it's a human trait - curiosity. However, our curiosity is no longer the gossip that has been drip fed to us, it's the roots of it, the people who have fed it us, the reasons why and how we have been manipulated to enable crooks to become the most powerful people in the world.  So now that we know that we have been living in a media matrix............will we take the red pill or the blue pill?
