I know, I had just watched it myself quite recently. Absolutely everything he was saying was basically what is going on in the world today.
It seems like more and more that the "news" that makes it on TV is the same "news" that gets them the highest ratings, that makes them the money.
It's a sad day and age when OJ Simpson botching a robbery is bigger news than soldiers dying in Iraq, Blackwater running amok, and Bush saying the dreaded words "World War 3."
The media is supposed to be responsible for keeping the people informed of what the government is doing. It is a part of the checks and balances. When that gets tipped in one direction too far, we get situations like the one we're currently in.

Whoa..when did WW3 come up? I missed that. That's scary. I think you are dead on with your insight about the media.

absolutely. if we run down the laundry list of things that make the news over the things that SHOULD make the headlines, it would probably be mind-numbing. thanks for the personal response!
