Anyone been watching this? The usual caustic dissection of the media. Very funny with some great points made. From the first episode the bit that's stuck hardest was when the guy talked about the media scare over an Ebola outbreak in some African country that was blown into a full scale worldwide panic but in the end killed 250 people. A couple of years later, a civil war in the same region killed millions with no media interest because they couldn't make it scare of the month. Remember the millenium bug? Bird Flu? Swine Flu? We were supposed to see 65000 dead in this country through swine flu this winter according to the media... It really did hammer home the whole scare of the month that the media love. |

I was saddened to hear that in Haiti they are shooting kids for looting. That girl dead in one pic with a couple of pictures under her arm. Hey ho. |
