This time it has to do with social media and what the American people treat as "news". Why is it that when I attempt to look up the news on the Honduras Coup and what is going on in Iran I am inundated with news of Michael Jackson and some guy that used to "star" on annoying infomercials?
Is this what the American people really want to read about nowadays? How is this "news" anyways? I think there is another word for it: Gossip. And when since did gossip become more important than news that affects the world around us?
An informed public is a smart public. An uninformed public is, well, you fill in the blank.
