Verbal barrage

Think of the verbal barrage thrown at you each day. News, talk shows, spin doctors, fuzzy truths, gossip, commentators, talking sports heads, chit chat, whining, work drivel, directives, lectures, and much, much more. How much of it has real substance? How much of it can have real substance when it is controlled by the media, whose motives must always be to varying degrees suspect.

That's why phrases like these, crafted by highly paid professionals, bother me.

"Love is what makes a Subaru a Subaru."

And from the NFL, "Family is football."
