KABOOM!

I bet more then half of you didn't know that.

Fortunatly.

But, how sick is that?

Very.

Ive said for a long time all the media cares about reporting is what they can scare the public with. How scary is no one dying?

The media is weird. I have yet to see one happy story reported this year. Alot of things have happened. I recently heard that Samuel Jackson visited an army base in Texas and found out they did not have enough houses to house alot of the troops families that were injured in combat and the families were staying with them. So, on the spot, he asks how much it cost for a house and writes a check so they can build atleast one more house. Did that make the news? not at all. But, the drive by shooting did, ofcourse. Even Terrell Owens latest bitch about the "Eagles using him" made headlines, but the one good deed? Nowhere to be found...

The media is very, very sad.....

Im not too suprised It didn't make american news

OVER HERE it was like the only news - almost a whole hour dedicated to telling us the fire still burns on

I suppose as far as Reporting the news goes - It doesn't matter what is going outwith borders unless its something big that effects certain groups of the reporting countrys society

For example, the earthquake in Afganistan (and the earlier one in Pakistan) would never have been brought to our attension if it wasn't for the UK's link with these countries - from way back when britain had an empire

To be honest - I don't nowif you will have heard of that ... cause American news sucks more than British news

And our news Sucks
