What's More Important?
Let's play a game. It's called, "What's More Important?" For each pair of news stories, choose either (A) or (B).
1. (A) Britney Spears pregnancy rumors or (B) statistics that show that nearly 18 percent of non-elderly Americans are without health insurance
2. (A) Prince Harry wearing a swastika as a joke at a costume party, or (B) the fact that Mein Kampf is currently a best-seller in Turkey (along with a new book about a Turkish hero who nukes Washington, D.C.)
3. (A) The Michael Jackson case or (B) a civil war in Africa's largest country that has killed 180,000 people and displaced 1 million more
OK, here's the breakdown of results:
-- If you answered "A" to these questions, you should watch MORE 24-hour cable news and vote LESS.
-- If you answered "B" to these questions but are still more interested in learning about "A," you are in the majority -- and you are responsible for the very things you complain about regarding the media. So please stop whining that the media should have told you more about "B;" they're not your mommy and daddy. They give you what you want, even if you only want candy 24/7. They have to, or they will go out of business.
And another thing: stop saying you like art films, too -- because you really don't.
-- If you answered "B" and are actually more interested in "B," you are apparently one of about 96 people nationwide. Read The Economist and watch BBC America; you're practically a foreigner anyway.
