all day long... absolutely nothing must be going on in the world.
something about UN troops going to Dafur (did someone say slavery?), more dead in iraq, no, afghanistan, i mean... wait! a break in the jonbenet case. pundit, pundit, expert, neighbour, wife.
a flash across the screen - was that historic elections in the congo, a bomb threat in india, what's going on with the lebanon ceasefire? back to the what is really happening today. that guy in thailand looks really skinny and apparently he "really loved jonbenet". now footage of the ransom note and creepy clips of the child beauty queen.
commercial time - look! coming up, more breaking news on the jonbenet case.
it is so comforting to know that there is so little going on in the world that we can spend days focusing on this crack in the jobenet case. you gotta love those no news days. and you know what they say - no news is good news!
hold on - what's this about an arrest of a man suspected of involvement in a 13 year wave of rapes and murders that left over 300 women dead in a mexican town?
obviously not news.

Amazing how distant the media have done us from reality. I try every morning to remind myself that every day 30,000 kids die all around the world. 30,000 kids. Then I check my little daughter and I’m thinking, I must do something. Very little doesn’t matter, but I must do something!
and you know, apparently, every little bit counts. but sometimes the truth can be a bit overwhelming. maybe that is why the media keeps reality away from us.
I think is time these media to find their real role in this universe and stop been reality shows!!! :)
but why face the truth when you can watch "big brother"?
well, i see you are trying to do something about that. so i shall have to check up on your mag every once in a while.
