What's Wrong With American Media?

Here is a perfect example of the complete ignorance of America being highlighted by America's pathetic small minded ignorant corporate influenced Media. Check this out.

To even insinuate that switching to energy efficient bulbs is somehow bad or a move in the wrong direction is completely insane. A "politically correct do gooder issue" is the quote from Republican Representative Joe Barton.

So why do Americans get pathetically ignorant "reporting" on an issue that has already been adopted by 400 million Europeans? Think energy companies, power companies, suppliers of power, coal / energy producers... Yea there is so much money behind keeping America in outdated pathetically old and backwards technology in every category it is not funny.

Another example of this realty is straight energy efficiency of our vehicles. In Europe the average MPG is 40.5 miles to gallon. Average! In the US it is 22.5 MPG. There are a dozen vehicles in Europe that get over 55 Miles per Gallon! Those that get 40+ include luxury vehicles and other mid-sized sedans, contrary to the message Americans are hit with by the powers in the energy industry keeping America stuck with the most energy inefficient passenger vehicles available in any industrial nation on the planet, that energy efficiency only means tiny dangerous cars. Look at one example, the Ford Focus. In the US, Americans were recently being sold the car with 9 year old engine technology while in Europe they have been enjoying a very fuel efficient version for a long time using leading edge engine technology. Read this article for example.

We are all living here in America under the umbrella of oligopolistic companies controlling 70% of what we consume in various industries while those same companies continue to fight to keep their low grade garbage on the market to boost their profit margins to the detriment of all Americans from the quality of what they buy, to the treatment of Americans like Guinea pigs with respect to our industrial taxpayer subsidized food supply, to the lack of energy efficient products which have resulted in Americans continuing to be the largest global polluters and most wasteful energy consumers to the ignorance and dumbing down of our corporate controlled media.

You would think with so many people in so many nations rising up to throw out their corrupt, lying and propaganda spewing leaders Americans would wake up and do the same. Maybe our time will come.
