Hold onto something, cause I'm going to
write about something I've never written about, ever--err--okay, it's the same
complaint I've written about many, many, many times before. Our media's a joke,
an unfunny, exasperating, they-should-be-embarrassed, joke. A huge earthquake
in Ecuador, with hundreds dead or missing--a huge story that we should learn
more about, right? Wrong! I had turned it to the BBC to get away from the
incessant Trump-Cruz, Hillary-Sanders presidential races, and I saw actual news being covered. With Aljazeera going
tits up, The BBC is about the only place to find what used to be known as full-coverage
public service news. Instead, we get round-the-clock nausea-inducing speculation
about the presidential race, as if that's the
only news story that anyone cares about. It's a disgrace!
