Burying Our Heads In
The Sand By James Donahue April 2005 I don’t know if
anybody else has noticed it, but this old newsman has been aware of the fact that our media outlets have been devoid of the
real news for a very long time. We have been so preoccupied
by the media’s constant “milking” of certain events it seems as if there is little, if any information publicized
about things that we really need to know about. Think about it. For nearly
a year almost all of our news involved the presidential candidates, their debates, and eventually all of the hoopla linked
to the Democratic and then the Republican Party conventions. After the elections, there was the Scott Peterson murder trial.
Then came the deadly December 26 earthquake and massive tsunami that swept away thousands of victims from Even while still flooded
with reports from the tsunami disaster, the drama involving the fate of a brain-damaged In the meantime, many
of the important events of our time are passing completely unnoticed . . . at least by our media. We are barely covering
the continuing war in The media is ignoring
the fact that 1,300 leading scientists from 95 countries recently published a detailed assessment of the “state of the
world” in which they agreed that the planet’s environment is degrading to a point where human extinction is a
very real threat. They also find that global warming appears to be out of control and that no matter what we do, the continual
heating of the planet cannot be stopped. There is almost no word
on all of the ways that the Bush Administration is stripping our nation’s legislated environmental controls on business
and industry, and preparing to allow oil and gas well drilling in pristine wilderness places that have been protected for
years. Most people in the Global warming not only
is proven real, it is hosting violent weather events that are devastating homes and property and leaving hundreds if not thousands
of people dead and maimed in their wake. Also coming at us are a number of new and modified bacteria and viruses fed by the
warmer temperatures. Some threaten mankind with killer pandemics. We have a record number
of people out of work in the I get the feeling that
someone, possibly our elected political leadership and even the sold-out media, are going out of their way to ignore the inevitable.
The world is in a very bad mess and our news is being coddled so that the masses are neither aware, nor are they thinking
about what is about to come down on our heads. Thus our nightly news
has become an entertainment hour, filled with talking heads and colorful displays of over-dramatized non-news events that
become the focal point of the masses. Like a popular football,
basketball or soccer team, the burial of a dead pope and selection of a successor becomes a form of reality drama on our television
screens. We can see the dead pope paraded in his fine robes past the camera lens. We watch the facial expressions as a jury
hands down the death sentence for Scott Peterson. We hear the wails of the family as members wait for daughter Terri Schiavo
to starve to death in her hospice care bed. All designed to take
our minds off the real menace…..the events looming in our own pitiful lives. |
