Somalia is a rogue state,.Any country where islamic fundamentalism is paramount is doom. Organized religion of any kind is delusional and unrealistic,it subdues common sense. |

So they should show some people walking on a beach? Proving what if I may ask? Have you ever seen a picture of people from Bosnia walking on the beach? Wasn't it stories of war and the rest were broadcast from there? (to address those who think this is an Africa bias for reporting bad news) As an unrelated example, Citibank is sacking 30,000 in the next 3 years. . . .did you hear it announced when those 30,000 were hired? The news media are not there to report scenes of normalcy, so I don't see why those type of pictures should somehow be at the forefront of their reports. Does the fact that a few girls are walking on the beach negate the greater reality of the wide-spread suffering going on in that country? As far as I'm concerned, this is another case of escapism. There will always be enclaves of peace/prosperity (ill gotten or otherwise) even in a war torn country. The essence of the 'western media' is to portray the cases requiring either intervention or outrage from their viewers. As the saying goes good news is no news Blame it on biological determinism, say the neuroscientists. John T Cacioppo of the University of Chicago explains that very early the brain exhibits a "negativity bias", meaning it reacts with far more electrical activity to the stimuli of bad news than to good, and that this is seen at the earliest stages of information processing. Thus our attitudes are more heavily influenced by downbeat than good news. http://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2008/08/news-negative-optimistic-media |

The Lord saves those who needs to be saved, not the ones already saved. So why should America focus on the good side? If they show the good parts, you ppl will say they only go to Somalia for the beaches etc, if they show the bad part, you ppl will say they don't care about the problems in Somalia. What do you ppl want, seriously!!! |
