Cnn Interested in Tiger Woods and iPads while Al Jezeera Covering Real Stories

This is complimentary to another thread I posted about main steam media totally ignoring the wiki leaks story, but I think a picture speaks 1,000 words.

1. I am so damned sick of front-page photos of nerds triumphantly hoisting their new iPads...
...on Day 1, yeah, I guess. Give us one photo and be done with it. But it's like they hunted down every member of band camp who bought one and yelled "SAY CHEESE!"

:hide:

(Hiding from intevitable Apple FanBoy fallout)

:rofl:

2. I couldn't care any less about the iPad side to this. The media's silence on this is sickening
CNN has time to cover iPads and Tiger Woods as the main featured stories but they don't have time to even mention that our government engaged in a cover up after killing 15 innocent people (2 of them children).

6. The media only understands bright shiny objects waved before simple, dull adults
That's what gets ratings...Tiger & Sandra & iPads. Dead people don't equal ratings, unless they're dead celebrities.

3. CNN will however continue to claim
that their drop in ratings is because viewers don't want to see hard hitting news.

5. Aw c'mon why should Americans have to
waste their beautiful minds with body bags and death? It's not relevant.
