You know if there is one section of the community I loath it is News Media, why?, because of the fact that to them disasters are nothing more than fodda, an excuse to go into frenzy, and look for as many ways as possible to attack just about everything except themselves, Since the earthquake on boxing day I have found the entire coverage of the media to be its usual goulish santmonious self, so it comes as no surprise to me that they have gone on a witch hunt on their Favourie whipping boys, GW Bush Jnr and the US, while I am no fan of GW, from the first media report I saw, I just knew it was only matter of time before the media found an angle, and it took them a few days but now their up and away, first Bush's response, then the amount the US pledged, then the attacked the bigger amount he pledged, then for trying to hijack the running of the relief effort, and now how many x presidents he used. I find it nauseating the way the media starts the whole theme and then spends the following weeks justifying their arguments all the while fueling the fire, the one they in most cases created, then lit then fanned. If any one is to blame for the attitude we have towards authority especially our leaders, it is every bit the medias fault as it is the politicans themselves. There are so many wonderful things going on where people are coming together to help these people ( the victims I mean), and yet the media seems hell bent on finding fault, and taking a negative attitude towards the whole event, thank God most intelligent people have learnt to take our media with a grain of salt.
