AMERICAN POLITICAL NEWS DROWNS WORLD EVENTS

May 6, 2008

 

          The American News outlets are so focused on the 2008 election, “that has been – so called news for…oohhh about 16 months now by my estimation” no other REAL World news of importance is being covered!

 

          To say the American media outlets do not have an agenda is ABSURD! To any outside observer the inward focus is truly astounding; the rest of the world disappears in the pencil stroke of an editor in Washington or New York, until the next catastrophe. Which of course the terrorist groups are more than happy to provide, for they also have a political agenda.

 

          Let us consider matters of real importance:

·        CHINA – the Olympics will be a major political coup, in the eyes of the Chinese leadership only, more likely a political disaster!!

·        TIBET – under the foot of the invader, have we forgotten their true nature?

·        SOMALIA – another humanitarian disaster, so common in the poorest part of our World, they need our help desperately!!!!!

·        BURMA (MYANMAR) – yet another miserable situation and the poor are not helped by another dictatorship.

·        And on, and on and on….

 

The World and its people desperately require the help of “the combined Human Race – NOW!” People have been and continue to die at sickening rates, lack of food, clean drinking water and medicines could save millions.

 

My point being, each of us should ask ourselves “what is truly important to us, not just this minute but 24 hours a day, seven days a week?” American politics is important, to a point, a Democrat in The White House will realign America’s fortunes over time, but the true ongoing catastrophe goes on “day after day just out of site.” In the age of sound bites, when America’s major News organizations disregard real World catastrophes to focus exclusively on an election, the whole World truly does suffer.
