Now I'm going to bash American news corporations. It's an interesting story, but hardly worth being news, just like the rest of whats reported on. I don't care about Michael Jackson, Martha Stewart, or any of that other crap. The important things that get covered are skewed to fit an agenda, leaving the average joe sadly misinformed. I get most of my news from the default Firefox BBC live bookmark, that and dimebowl.com

Unfortunately, the mass majority of Americans are very interested in the daily lives of celebrities, including their underwear color.
So the new agencies feel obliged to provide the fodder for these junkies.
I read all sorts of news, from global economy, to ancient carnivorous marine alligators. And occasionally, I do indulge on these sensationalistic stories too.
Do you know that astronomers found two more moons for Pluto?

I was pretty scared by the video... I didn't want to see them get run off the platform.

Hehehe, It's not just Americans. I see all sorts of ludicrous press all over the world. The English are rather dishy with their news as well. I think it's humans in general who enjoy reading mundane tidbits about anything.

I had a long opposing view of this sentence but opted to omit it for sake of harmony.
There just is no way to reply kindly to such a viewpoint. I think you allow your local views of the world reflect in your replies. The majority of Americans were I live view California with open scorn. Perhaps you should look outside the box?
