One nation controlled by the media...

As I came home from work last night, a friend mentioned that Georgia has been attacked by Russia.

I was shocked to hear that, and more so, since I had read the news earlier that day. must have just happened, I figured.

I flipped to CNN, Fox & some of the other news channels, & they were all providing detailed coverage of ... you got it- john edward's affair!
it was only bloomberg (of all the channels ) that had an interview with the Georgian Ambassador in progress.

it is disappointing how insular the news here tends to be. I suppose the media is more interested in showcasing provocative stories of lesser significance but more mass appeal rather than news events of global implications.
