that's because journalism in america is a ****ing joke.
and i say that as a member of the news media.
however many news channels we have... and they all tell the same stories? like there isn't other **** going on in every other city, in every other state? in other countries? no, it's not possible to report every story that could potentially be interesting to someone - and people have to take responsibility for themselves and seek out their own news of interest - but the scope of coverage is very, very narrow.
like, how they're pounding election 08 primary coverage in our face.. despite the fact that MOST PEOPLE don't even bother to vote in the primaries (which is sickening). each channel is so interested in pushing its own agenda through its coverage that they limit everything else to a 15, 30, or 45 second blurb.
