IMO, news as we once knew it has been dead for years. Once the corporations decided to go for ratings instead of truth, we lost that connection with reality. Since then it has been harder and harder to tell reality from spin and garbage in the news.
Go to
www.cnn.com. The largest, front and center story is
Defence goes after [Michael] Jackson documentation. Aparently, Michael Jackson is more important than one of Saddam's tribunal judges being assasinated. Fox News has the same leading story. Maybe Michael Jackson should run for governor after Arnold starts his campaign for president. With the amount people actually know (or care) about the world versus how much we know about hollywood, that might actually come to pass.
