I originally had the article linked in the URL frame - but I don't actually want anyone to go there... I get these BREAKING NEWS articles in my junk mail box fairly often. I should probably unsubscribe - but whatever. I just got this whopper:
Missing Westminster woman, 3-year-old daughter found safe Which, I guess, was a follow-up to Westminster mother, daughter disappear during shopping trip to Colorado Springs
So.... a white lady and her kid go missing... and then they're found safe. And this is not only news... but BREAKING NEWS worthy of my inbox?
How many people died in the Syrian conflict today? How many young black men were murdered? How many young women were sold into sex slavery? How many humans were otherwise trafficked?
I gotta really DIG for those answers... But some white lady who might just need a break from her asshole husband makes her way into my inbox because I bought some 2 for 1 restaurant coupon from an affiliate of a local news channel?
I am Jack's complete disillusionment with media.
