Chefdino says " Is anyone awake out there??"".
Why is it that things that make the world news are not world news and things that should be world news does not?? Let me give you an example. Vice president Cheney accidentally shot one of his friends during a quail hunting trip. No one is dead and the friend is not angry. In fact, he feels sorry for the position that Cheney is now in in relation to the media. This accident took place over a week ago. This is still the primary headline on MSN.com today. MSN further goes on to say this "Highlights the VP's secretiveness." How is someone like the VP's secretiveness world news? Is there a world leader that is not secretive?? Is that not part of the job?
Now lets see what should be world news but is not.
"Deadly Bird Flu hits India, and France."
This is listed under "Health Issues" not " World News" on MSNBC.com
Now I know that there has been plenty of information on the bird flu on the net and in the news. So why is this one different?? India is the second most populous nation in the world and is still considered a third world nation. The Bird flu could be the next plague and it just moved to great place to start a plague. This bird flu is moving toward Europe slowly but surely. This is historically a great place for a plague to go. It has been a while since we had a plague scare of this potential.
A possible plague moving across Asia into Europe is world news. The fact that Dick Cheney shot a friend during a hunting trip last week should maybe make the back page of front section at this time but the most important spot???
-March lemmings, march. Keep doing what you are doing and you will eventually lead to the sea. Maybe its time to make up your own mind. Go in your own direction. The worst that can happen is maybe you don't end up drowning with the rest of the lemmings.-

Sorry Chef but when the vice president of the United States shoots someone it is newsworthy. This isn't your typical dumbass redneck shooting - Bush was nowhere near the shooting. If anyone else had pulled the trigger they would have a lot more to answer for than Dick.
Sorry hippie, my point was that this is still on the front page. Yes it "Was" newsworthy but dont we have better front page stuff a week later???
