Bravo! Great journalism at work. Strangely enough, it is just that simple.

Americans do not have the attention span of a five year old. Look see. Something pretty.

So right Chuck.

Look at the pretty bangles and bobbles? Wooooww

bloody brilliant.

That was GREAT! So true I want to cry out in mourning for the things I probably don't know about everything going on thanks to the "news".

[CrimsonandCreamForever]

Formulaic structure is ok, because formulas work. The problem with American media, as Cruc was alluding to, is that they don't report news, they report "sh*t they want you to know, not sh*t they don't want you to know" and call that "news".

That about sums up my three years at Syracuse journalism school, except the beheading part. I might have learned that in high school.

One of the problems with the American media is that they only report what gets ratings. That means we get very little international news unless it directly affects us - terrorism, etc.

Listen to BBC sometime and you'll get a 10 minute stretch talking about Uganda or Nigeria or something.....
