Media whore ...

I hadn't realized when I left the US two years ago that the media here was so self-obsessed, don't get me wrong there are a vast number or anchors and presenters that aren't (ok maybe not vast) but the major networks - its so different to the media in Australia. The media here are more concerned with graphics and sattelite images, music and tickers, that the actual information gets buried. I have to weed through the human interest stories on Witchita Kansas to hear current national news. Although in the US's defense there is a much larger population and much more competition in the market. The personalities of each presenter override usaful information they might be providing. I have given up - now I just read Reuters and AP online.

We had 6 channels in Australia - and I thought NBN was bad. HA!
