a new enlightenment

i've always thought our media were stupid but since interning at a news station, i've started to realize just how stupid. saddam hussein is going on trial and yet nobody knows about it. but michael jackson's verdict interrupted regularly scheduled television programs just a few days ago. i honestly dont think i'd know about husseins trial if it weren't for doing nothing 3 days a week at a news station but reading newspapers and watching cnn. which is horrible considering americans have died fighting hussein's regime. we care more about a music star instead of a man who victimized millions of people and countries. maybe we'd care more if the media weren't so fucked up.
