i hear about car-bombings in iraq a lot [and how many of iraqis [i guess, plus americans or other culturs]] die.
really tho, its just because we're such a sensationalist society. i mean, the same media went nuts over columbine and stuff like that.
it's the "hot story" right now because it hasn't happened in awhile. if the same thing happened on a monthly basis, it would just be on your local evening news. |
you mean bombings in iraq.. they happen almost every day... maybe im exagerating but @ leats 3 times a week... nothing that big has happened in a while yes, but poeple die everyday over there.....
both situations are bad, here with what just happened and what has been happening in iraq for the past years. imagine what just happened here, everyday.... just to put things in perspective
now i know they are different settings... but i was just trying to make a point in class........ |

The same thing that I think about the media in general:
Not much. |

| I also like how there is so much going on in the world, but when a blonde american girl gets kidnapped or some other story that has nothing to do with anything but grabs people's interests because it's played out like a soap opera, the media is all over it like flies on . |

Mm-hmm. If there's one positive thing that could come from this media coverage is that it will cause people to forget about the whole bull Anna Nicole tripe.  |

on & on & on & on & on...
with so many shootings & gun related deaths in the US, why doesn't someone crack & go into a TV studio & start capping media executives and paparazzi??? |
