Sometimes you have to wonder if the media does any real research or if all they are interested in is sensationalism even when it's not justified. This time they jumped on the Swine Flu. Not because it is a pandemic but because it MIGHT be a pandemic. So far it has spread slower and killed fewer people than the normal flu that goes around every year, yet the media seems to be committed to making it a pandemic and won't give up up till the story is a 100% dead end or till they find a new shiny something to report.
All the time this has been going on we had the Governor of California sign into law a new bill that could classify sharing the gospel as hate speech. We have our congress voting in every bill they can while the media is distracted with their new shiny flu thing.
One can only think the media are either bought, owned and paid for by the government, they're afraid to print the truth they know, or they're all inept at their jobs and just don't know what real news is. So far no american has died from the swine flu. The fact that it's spread to almost every nation in the world is as bad as the cold spreading to every nation in the world. More people died in car accidents since the swine flu was announced but that isn't news. But then the news is not about printing what is happening when what MIGHT happen makes for better news.
Congress must feel they can vote anything in they want now as the media will only report it after that fact by which point Americans merely throw their hands in the air in frustration and say, "well there's not much we can do about it now." what a sad situation our nation is in when Americans wish they could do something about their leadership yet feel powerless to do so when we are the only nation in the world where our non-representing representatives are supposed to serve the people not the other way around.
