Watching the new today. One news rolled out, another swept in. Japan out and Libya in.
A natural disaster we can’t do anything about...another self created mutual hatred that we can do without...both fodder for news. Both scary spectacle and the world a stunned audience.
The news played the horror of tsunami and earthquake in a loop like it was an never ending series...and ended it as abruptly to switch to man-made war and 24-7 reports on Libya.
It is mind boggling - the information, the velocity of information and just the non-stop need to show, explore, dissect and discuss. Photos, videos, experts, live coverage...it is a bit too much.
When the time came pause and mourn the cameras turn away to report the next “crisis” coz’ that’s new...
