In an age where any
twit can broadcast his or her own uniquely colourful opinions to the rest of world at the touch of a button, it is profoundly flattering to note that the public still retains such high regard for the mass media's ability to control the hearts and minds of well-educated people who have vast stores
superbly indexed data at their disposal to
search for absolutely
non-biased information.
Heartened by such support, I hereby pledge in this coming year to uphold the media's neverending effort to
brainwash the people while doing the utmost to
line my own pockets.
