I woke up at about 10 today and turned it over to CNN Headline News to check out all the 'important' things goin' on in the world. I noticed that London was the latest victim in terrorist attacks. These types of things are ridiculous. Anyone that says anyone deserves this in any way is a complete idiot, no offense.
I flipped the channel over to the broadcast networks and what did I find? Soap operas. I don't even understand the priorities of our media. Knowing good and well if something like that happened here in the United States, it would be nothing but news coverage all day. It's things like this that make foreigners view us as pompous, selfish people. As Janet from WKU said - "They interrupt all of my good shows to tell me that Sandra Day O'Connor is retiring, but when London is being attacked they hardly even say anything!" Again, priorities are skewed.
I realize that I might be a bit hypocritical with this post, and I can't really defend myself because it is true. Would I be writing a post if it were a suicide bombing in some 3rd world country? Obviously not, because I see on the news all the time when that happens, and I don't write blogs.
Hopefully they'll figure out who is really behind all this, and hopefully the death toll won't rise any higher. Keep these people in your thoughts and tell the major networks to preempt their precious soap operas for something a little more important every once in awhile.
