Do the middle eastern news shows cover "Grape-Catching-Guy"
or water skiing squirrel?? or the things that pass for "news" here?

It boggles the mind.. Those used to be the kind of stories you read about in Reader's Digest while you waited for the receptionist to call your name..

or they were shown on the "folksy local shows' after the national news.

What must a displaced person who had had family members killed, think when they see satellite tv, and look in on our "news".. ??

Maybe it's just one more reason to "hate" us.

We rarely see any actual footage of their suffering, so why would they even think we care?
