…….its all about the money. Everything falls into that saying, not just the media. I can choose to form my opinions based on the media’s points of view or not and that the angle taken and repetition of information actioned by each news agency goes largely hand in hand with the political stance of that agency. That, I think, is fair enough in my small world, but then again, I’m not subject to the same censorship laws that other people in other countries are. Even though some news items are over exposed, it is not really that much of a problem for me. Media fatigue is relative.
One thing that is apparent which does tend to bewilder me is how alot of people in this country still don’t take on board any news at all. Now, I don’t know if any statistics exist to prove or disprove this but I can honestly say that I see on a day-to-day basis, many people, some of which are colleagues, who know nothing about what the hell is going on. Well, that’s up to them. I’m not about to force anyone to do anything else but when a service person says, “I’m not looking forward to spending 4 months in the deserts of Kosovo” then I have to ask myself how this stupidity came about.

What did I watch on Sept 11? My son, being sick. :-(
