I never understand the news
I've never fully understood why some things are classified to have news value and others not. No surprise, I don't watch TV news, and I don't listen to radio news either. It's all net and from a selection of news online.
Anyway.
Why are we supposed to care about some political election of some country in Africa? Of 200 countries on this planet, why are BBC boosting about that particular one for weeks now? Oh, they must have political instability? Right, the only country out there with such...
Why are we supposed to care when something happens to the famous people? Why is it news around the world when Britney Spears crashes her car? And on the same time thousands of people closer to you die but they are refered only as "three died in a car accident on road xyz this morning."
Why on earth is anyone supposed to give a damn about Kate Moss losing her baggage at Heathrow? If thousands of other passengers lose, that is no news but for Kate Moss? Where is the newsvalue in such piece of information? Why is it more important if they lose the lugggage of some rich celebrity than when they lose yours? You would think that Ms Moss can afford to buy again everything in her luggage compared to an average income you...
And what an earth is this rant about being against pro-suicide websites? One's got to be without any brain activity to suicide onself after reading on some webpage that suicide is as trendy now as being bisexual. You would think that people suicide for other reasons than reading from websites that it's the new emo to die. Well, if it is, at least it helps to maintain a bit more sanity in the gene pool.
