It is hardly fair to blame people from developing countries for their lack of knowledge about certain aspects of the world around them! I think the point being made here is more relevant to people living in rich industrial nations who could know what was going on if they put even a fraction of effort into it, via internet and specialist publications, if not via populist television. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Silver Cheetah (edited 09-13-2001).] |

The American Goverment has reaped what it has sown, and as always the innocent people pay. Seeing the hatred generated in the middle east by americas "blank cheque" support of isreal it was inevitable that something terrible would happen.

I think you make very good points; however I stand by my conviction that those with the money have determined what we like more than we have simply because we haven't been given a chance to choose. I understand the point about "if the public doesn't like it, they won't watch and ratings will drop". I DO agree with that, but I feel that it's MORE on the heads of those who have the money and the authority to decide. I will restate something I said earlier... When I was young, our news was reported (the parts that they would tell us, anyway) whether it was good or bad. Sometimes, my parents and I would be sad for days because there seemed to be no 'good news'. Everything was fear and violence and death all over the world. We still watched it. Then, some news programs started putting little bits of 'good' at the end of the news to kind of brighten everyone up at the end. After a while, they hardly mentioned anything bad at all anymore. They'd gloss over anything negative and they still, mostly, do. My point in all this was and is that, if they all reported the 'cold, hard facts' (notice "facts", not "truth" .) we would have no options. The media started the "popularity" contest that pushed all the bad out. Now, I'm not saying that I think EVERYONE wants to hear what's going on, but I think the media does not give us enough credit. So ultimately the "blame" for fluff reporting and us not knowing enough about what's going on everywhere else lies on both sides. "Them" for cutting out the important stuff and "us" for letting "them". I hope I made my thoughts clear. If not, at least I tried. ------------------ "Allright! We'll call it a draw."

An interesting quote that just came to mind and may or may not be pertinent:
"If you stand for nothing, you will believe anything." Don't know where that came from or where I was going with it, but there it is. ------------------ "Allright! We'll call it a draw."
