why do i read lots of killing all over blogosphere recently?! makes me feel sck then utterly SAD!
One word… WOW!
Is Iran just losing it or what?
Another problem about media coverage nowadays; most of what should be said, is NOT said. The little which IS SAID, if often censored. At the same time, the world wide media, often here in the West, are crying and screaming out the importance of “free speech”. Let me ask, am I, like others, sensing a strong feeling of hypocrisy regarding nowadays media?
In twenty years time there would probably be “Daily Gossip” rather than “Daily News”.
It’s sad, really.
Ranya, that is so true, sadly. Let’s treasure then the good sources that do exist…
