media haze

confusion either induced by the media or from which the media suffers; when the media obfuscates rather than enlightens.

I hope and pray that the American people can cut through the endless media haze and partisan nonsense and finally pick some responsible and intelligent leaders.

Budd Dwyer  

Pennsylvania state Treasurer who committed suicide on TV in 1987. He was about to be sentenced and sent to prison. He called a press conference, read his suicide note, and blew his brains out with a .357 magnum.

It was snowing that day in Harrisburg, and lots of kids were home from school. Their cartoons were interrupted by this breaking news, in all its graphic glory.

Seared lots of young minds, it did. And this was pre-internet, mind you, so they weren't used to seeing stuff.

Whoh, did you see that? That Budd Dwyer dude just blew his fucking brains out!

sending good definitions to the Urban Dictionary.

Arg! They rejected my definition of shouty-crackers again! It's a real piece of urban slang that they don't have in there! Pearls before swine, I tell you what.
