What I can't seem to understand about media today is how they choose their cover stories. For example: I have heard endless details about MJ's funeral, but painfully little about the recent overthrow of the Honduran government. I just wonder what else is going on in the world that I am completely clueless of and would know nothing about except for talking with international friends.
What's the remedy?
I wonder that ALL the time. I'd rather watch Jon Stewart and Chelsea Lately than the news - it's almost LESS of a joke.
ReplyDeleteI think there's slightly more out there on the web, surely there are some high quality news sources that don't constantly cover celebs. Surely. I just haven't taken the time to look.
Move to Guatemala. BBC is part of basic cable. :D
