I find it hilarious that local news pretends law enforcement is making a dent in the drug trade and especially silk road.
Same here. I occasionally watch local television news to get the local weather report. I'm always shocked at horrified at the levels of propaganda on local news. It seems even more intense than on national news media.
Local news is an unending stream of stories about local government heros smacking da' meth menace, bringing home D.C. largess for some new local social program, or pimping pharmaceuticals and consumer electronic crap.
Some people leave this crap running in their homes how 24/7. I recently attended a Christmas party at a TSA supervisor's house. He had, I kid you not, six televisions *all running* in his house at once; kitchen, living room, bedroom, master bath, office, and outdoors on the porch!
The cacophony was maddening. I turned off the television where we were sitting on the porch so I could better converse with other party-goers. He came outside to put more food on the BBQ, saw the blank screen, became visibly annoyed, and turned it back on. I mean, the guy had a look on his face like he'd spotted a turd floating in his hot tub.
