Local News Is Like Modern Art
a: Local news ~
b: modern art
What: Much modern art, Van Gogh, fauvist, and expressionism is about evoking emotion as an end to itself. Modern local news has fallen into the same trap. It is designed to evoke emotions, mostly fear. The goal being to attract views and sell advertising. The lack of intellectual substance in cable and local news is stunning. It like a giant splashy fauvist painting rich in colors and with enough form to kinda makes sense, but in the end there is little communication of facts or knowledge.

# 1268 Critique Analogy

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
