The mere fact that the Iraq War is barely even covered anymore should tell you all you need to know about the media. Even when it is covered it is covered like a sports scoreboard, "Today in Iraq 60 killed in Car Bombing, 12 wounded" and that is basically it for the story. Gone is any debate, any discussion of what exactly is taking place over there right now, or the fact that the opposition's violence is growing.
Of course it isn't just Iraq, it is many things.
Our media is so sensationalism-driven it is sickening, why the runaway bride and Michael Jackson should be covered side by side with the War and the Economy is a question no one can answer.
