It is kind of sick. Like the fact he's a perv is news. News being things we didn't know before. I vote for covering Turkey because traditionally Turkey has been "western-friendly" and certainly not the site of terrorist attacks. Plus the folks doing it are likely not Turkish. That's worth covering, if for no other reason than informing us of security issues and developments in the war on terror.
The Bush visit is propoganda and I couldn't care less.

Anything else going on in the world? I'm serious. Our news orgs are really sucking lately.

Well for a view from outside (that gets the US sources too)....

The stories in Canada in order of time and place in news:

Prime Minister stepping aside early
Conrad Black getting the boot from his media empire
Turkish Bombings
Iraq
Bush visit to UK
MJ's legal problems
Online drug sales
Arar case (looks like Canadian security set him up :mad: )
Air India hearing
and finally the outdoor NHL game on the 22nd.;)

All this from watching and reading every news source I could get my hands on this week (media anaylsis paper due Monday on media's political or economic bias).

I dont care about Jacko being a perv...about what Scott did with Laci...or how many semen sample's are in Kobe's accusers draws!!! I watch the news for news.... If I wanted to see BS I'd turn to BET.

This crap is why I really don't watch much of anything but Headline News if I want something more than infotainment.

TV is getting pretty useless for news. Locally, they're leading with crap like Daycare vans running orange lights:rolleyes:

Jackson was the lead story where I live.
