I'm embarrassed that I don't know more about international politics and even more embarrassed that I often have to look up where exactly countries are.Kevin Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345970539937425736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967848269350473416.post-4459137809589720022009-06-30T20:20:28.720-07:002009-06-30T20:20:28.720-07:00Good post Kevin.

I think the news networks are forgetting that we already have stations like E! and Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood … I don’t have a problem with them covering what happened with the celebrities, I think they should. But the repeated coverage and the fact that the Michael Jackson death is trumping many other important events in the world isn’t right.<br /><br />But at the same time, how does the situation in Honduras affect me? It doesn’t. The MJ story affects me more than most of the other stuff that should have been more heavily reported on. But it should all still be reported. Just because it doesn’t affect me doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be an informed citizen.nothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458672320860936728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967848269350473416.post-16856836542263685542009-06-30T20:12:07.787-07:002009-06-30T20:12:07.787-07:00I agree Kevin. the things that matter the most, li...I agree Kevin. the things that matter the most, like knowing about world coups and the leaders of countries, is all but forgotten in our backwards model of broadcast news. <br /><br />Where pop entertainment comes first, because it sells.The Fantasy Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775388695346023626noreply@blogger.com
