She Who Will Be Obeyed!: Priorities are screwed up

Priorities are screwed up

Okay. Iraq manages, beyond most expectations, to put together a government that is very representative of the Iraqi population.

So what does the MSM talk about? (and I mean all of the media)

Natalie Holloway and Kentucky Derby winner, Barbaro.

A missing, probably dead girl and a horse with a broken leg.

Now. Tell me. What the fuck is wrong with the people running the media that a year old story about a missing, pretty blonde and a newer story about a broken horse is more important than Iraq starting to govern themselves with a reasonable bunch of people.

It just makes me shake my head in the utter disappointment and dismay at the state of the intellect of the media.

Honestly.

Well, it's better that they keep quite about it rather than do reportage of this calibre:

Second sentence, first para: "So, President Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Prime Minister Tony Blair all are in full throat hailing the belated, partial and possibly irrelevant development."
I'd rather they said nothing.
