Sadly, this week all other news is subsumed by the most important story in the Whole Wide World…the capture of the (possible) killer of JonBenet Ramsey. Two days of wall-to-wall ‘coverage’ (ie specualation) on some guy in Thailand.
I mean no disrespect to the Ramsey family, and its not as if they haven’t had enough tragedy in thier lives recently. I’m glad for them if they manage some kind of closure over this.
But:
War in Afghanistan
War in Iraq
Shaky ceasefire in Lebanon
Worst oil spill since the Exon Valdiz in the Mediterranean
Syria and Iraq rattling sabres
North Korea possibly testing a nuclear bomb
The UN getting tough
Racial slurs caught on tape from both sides of the aisle
The White House battling with the Feds about US phone tapping
House prices tanking
…these are the things I’m interested in.
CNN has spent two days rehashing old 1996 stories, talking to Joe Schmoe on the telephone, making #hit up and generally going to @ucking town on the JBR case, while the rest of the world goes to Hell in a Handcart.
All media is biased. Its best to get your news from as many different scources as you can, and make up your own mind.
