I have this feeling that I’m increasingly failing to understand the World. I read different news sources, some blogs, etc…but somehow I don’t feel like I’m quite getting to the bottom of “what’s happening”. I don’t understand the Oil Spill. I don’t understand Mel Gibson’s situation. It’s a hazy quagmire of one narrative overlaying another.
When I was younger, I read newspapers and Time and a few other things and I felt like I had a good handle on big events.
But we’ve entered into a realm of Massive Accounts – blogs, Twitter, FB, etc – and this lends a dream-like aspect to Current Events.
So I’m interested in creating an unreliable news source. One that directly permits factual looseness. I imagine it would look like The Huffington Post or TMZ. Just a blog site. All the important news events would be covered. But they would all be run through the mill of amnesia, dream, and imagination. Not to create something “funny” exactly. Anyway -
