Last night I was watching the 10 o'clock news (pittsburgh). The Top Story was not about how Israel is retailating to Lebanon, it wasn't about North Korea walking out of the meeting but how "Big Ben", after a month, finally talks about his accident. WHO THE HELL CARES???? We are at the possiblity of War here and we are talking about a football players motor cycle accident. Granted, I have nothing against him and I wish the best for a full recovery, but he wasn't wearing a helmet and didn't have a liscens. I also understand that there should be some not so sad stories but not as the Top Story.
What is wrong with society? Is a football player and his carelessness more important than nuclear weapons? or killings?

Football players always get special treatment,but that's ridiculous. You're right,that shouldn't be Top Story-but then,we
live in a society where sports and pleasure-seeking take precedence over other things.

I believe they aim the headliners to be what the public wants to hear about. Yes, of course we are at war..... we have been since 2001 ya know. I am not trying to condone what the public deems important, but the media is supposed to give us that "top story" so that is why their interests are elsewhere. I myself know that I am tired of hearing who bombed who, and etc.... even though we need to know that information I believe the american people are so tired of hearing about what Bush is doing to our country! I mean we do pay attention to that kind of thing, but we are so used to hearing it on practically a daily basis now that it is not so much of a shock, which in turn makes it not so much of a "top story".
