....and so this is "News"?

Hello, it is a beautiful day today isn't it? Well, maybe not for some folks. We can't all be happy at the same time can we? And we shouldn't all be sad at the same time should we?

Put on your TV set, switch on your radios, turn on your computers and hit the "News" channels lets see and hear what's going on in the world and within our immediate environs. Oh!, the President of Egypt has been overthrown? Really? Sure, he is now old news.

Snowden, is hanging out in an airport in Russia. He is hiding away in public in Russia from the public eye. Putin can't go to him, Evo Morales had his plane grounded and searched because of him. He must be very important.

Assange is still spending his time at the Ecuadorian Embassy and the Ambassador had his office bugged by MI6 (or probably by Assange himself?). The Prime Minister of Britain is not denying that his government is involved in the bugging of the Ecuadorian Embassy.

Wait a minute, did you say Evo Morales had his plane grounded because some European countries needed to be sure Snowden wasn't on board that plane? I wonder if any country in the world would try to ground Air-force one for a search for anything or any reason. That would be seen as an act of @@@.

Germany is angry that America had the audacity to conduct cold war like wire-tapping of their Ambassador's phone lines. I wonder if they have forgotten that the guy in that White house is the same one who wrote the AUDACITY of HOPE ! They want full disclosure from the Americans and Barack Obama has agreed to talks with Germany to explain spying on allies. It's kind of like how insecure husbands spy on their wives or vice-versa!

The Economy in Europe is falling to pieces, joblessness on the rise, money falling, countries filling for bankruptcy, starvation on the rise, rallies, protests, strikes etc. The Africans look and wonder why this should be News, these conditions have been prevailing in Africa the past 30-40 years.
The Africans employed all the economic and austerity tools the Europeans recommended and nothing worked. The Europeans forgot that "What goes around comes around".

The the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant and her due date rapidly approaches. Her pregnancy becoming "News" makes me wonder if there was ever any doubt that the Prince could perform. Well, after pregnancy comes delivery always, so is this "News"?

The head of the Afghan army, General Sher Mohammad Karimi has said that fighting in Afghanistan could be stopped "in weeks" if Pakistan told the Taliban to end the insurgency. Why would they do such a thing? Doesn't he realize that, that would be the end of all the funds that pour in from America in the name of fighting terror. The Pakistanis need the money to build roads, schools, hospitals e.t.c. We all know that. So, should this be "News"?


U.S. Drone Strike in Pakistan Kills at Least 16 SUSPECTED terrorists, because there was no way to confirm that they really were terrorists, the drone was flying to high above them so, the principle of "if it looks like a duck, walks and quacks like a duck then it most certainly is a duck " was used. What this means is that they were dressed like Muslims eih?

Somehow, I am beginning to feel that we are being distracted from the real and true events occurring out there. Some group of individuals have taken it upon themselves to feed us entertainment as "News".What is in the papers (dailies) is junk, on TV and the radio, junk even on the internet. But if you know the right place to go to get the real "News" about events happening around the world and or within your immediate environs do please feel free to let me know because what is out there on the TV and Radio isn't "News"
