July 5, another amazing day in America from the headlines!

Today CNN’s online video headlines:

    Pig head thrown into mosque during prayers
    Teen joyrides on train, slips away on his bike
    Kitten survives churn through wood chipper

True, they did include some info about the Korean Missile launches and Israel’s attack on Gaza, but as usual left out the tolls from global catastrophes like malaria and HIV.

Is it presumptuous of me to suggest that American news is becoming a mental garbage dump? Ironic that it’s us and not the networks that are to blame. Networks just put out stories that attract our attention, and for the most part those stories are not reasonably interpreted as news.
