the news that's fit to print...

women slain in New Mexico When I look at news websites or listen to the news on television these days I'm consistently surprised at it's flatness. The hierarchy of news stories seems non-existent. This story appeared in a list of headlines which included a story about a squirrel with its head stuck in a cup and Michael Jackson's abuse of sedatives. It was quickly pushed from the main page. If entertainment is constantly the focus of the news media what does that tell us about our priorities? If nothing else... bbc news frankly I first learned of the latest U.S. surge in Afghanistan from the BBC. Not perfect but a little better.
