It is now humanly impossible to keep up with all the news delivered worldwide each day. In fact, the sheer volume of news in any developed country is probably why so many critical issues go unaddressed and unresolved.

...

Had GM been forced into bankruptcy 40 years ago it would have been the headline news for weeks on end, with months of follow-ups determining how such a corporate tragedy could have happened in the land of plenty.

...

Well, we do have a new billion-dollar stadium for the Cowboys. And it has certainly received far more press coverage than the recently passed House Bill that proponents claim will save the planet from global warming. Yes, forces are gathering to reverse our 100-year history of citizens’ free travel to work and for leisure – and of that freedom’s benefits to our economy.

Americans are suffering from information overload. There is no way that the average person can focus on his or her life, and still maintain any sort of reasonable attention to what is happening to our lives, our freedoms, and our country.

The Media are failing in their obligation to put the truly important stuff above the fold. We have certainly crossed into the "Circuses" stage of our downfall.

May God save the United States of America.

They wanted change.

Years of celebrity worship has warped the minds of this populace about what’s truly important. Reference the current Jacko BS.

I still don’t know what happened to the billions in bonds that disappeared in Europe, where some resolutions currently stand, the latest BS going on in Congress, and every bit of it should not only be front page news but investigated by “investigative journalists” - a term which refers to a now extinct group of people who actually (usually) did their damn jobs.

Now you can fax some random creation to one of the alphabet networks and have it on the news in a matter of seconds just so they can “beat the other guy to the punch”, then get a retraction and (maybe) an apology days later on page 46F.
