In the US, we get a steady diet of diversion every time we turn on the news. When the media are all giving us 24/7 coverage of only one or two stories that qualify only because they are inane but scintillating, we ought to be asking why.
More and more, I start wondering what we are not hearing whenever the current inane hyped story is being discussed ad nauseam. Three weeks of Michael Jackson all day, everyday, is just too much.
There is other news. Important news.
