The TV and Radio Talker Stampede

Nothing makes Granny's hair stand on end like a TV and radio talker stampede. These talkers get to running in one direction and spook the rest of us into running right along side of them. Anyone who tries to run counter to the herd gets trampled on and drowned out. Stampedes are nearly impossible to stop, and they put us all in danger of running off the cliff together.

TV and radio talkers enjoy stampedes because they're bullies and they like to feel powerful. I ‘spect it's pretty satisfying to admire all that stampede devastation once the dust clears. Don't ever cross one of these bullies, either. They'll treat you with nothing short of utter contempt. They'll try to intimidate you, dismiss you like a pesky gnat, or call you names. It's very telling, because name-calling is the favorite weapon of the weak. The most vicious name-callers are yellow to the core, you better believe it.

Just keep in mind that starting stampedes is great for the TV and radio talkers' "ratings." The truth is only incidental to them--it's fine as long as it doesn't interfere with their botox injections, shopping for yachts, and planning exotic travel. Don't be too quick to bolt if the TV and radio talkers get wild-eyed and start snorting and throwing their heads. Show some sense and look around for yourself a little bit. You might be surprised how often the threat is either overblown or a creature of pure imagination.
