Isn’t it wonderful how the mighty mainstream media in the U.S. aids and comforts the nation’s blissful ignorance of so many growing threats around the world?
Every once in a while a cable news network might fly up a scary graphic headline supported by old news footage, some scary sound effects and a dreadfully serious anchorperson will introduce the latest threat to the nation with credible passion and great zeal. On rolls the over-used former ambassador, has-been political hack, and retired military general or zany political wonk with a new book to flog. The segment will last for five minutes and onto the story about an alligator in a Florida swimming pool or updates from week five of the Trump-O’Donnell petty squabble. Easily digested news and easily forgotten. No wonder the nation is taken to ignoring the growing ensemble of global threats! The White House is accused of more scare-tactics and the focus returns to the Superbowl.
