Only Seeing What’s on the Popular Media

Reading news articles again… and of course, I just get pissed off. This is a good one about the USA’s looming economic disaster.
Quote from article:
Polls suggest that Americans have only a vague sense of their government’s long-term fiscal prospects. When pollsters ask Americans to name the most important problem facing America today — as a CBS News/New York Times poll of 1,131 Americans did in September — issues such as the war in Iraq, terrorism, jobs and the economy are most frequently mentioned. The deficit doesn’t even crack the top 10.
Because, what is reported on the 6 o’clock news? Exactly those things. The war in Iraq, terrorism, jobs, and the economy. Some local stuff once in a while. Okay, I don’t watch the regular national news all that much, because for one thing it’s rather depressing, and for another, I beleive it’s call canned. Pop open the can and dish out the news. It’s not what’s really going on.
People don’t go out and find out what’s going on. What the truth is, what is happening. It’s the same thing about the treatment of animals and our own personal health. Our world is a complete mess. I want to know what the truth is, so I can do something about it. I refuse to stick my head in the damn sand.
I better go read the rest of the article…
