The Media

Is it just me? Is there such a rush to scoop everyone else? Once a story gets it's first airing or printing, it kind of takes on a life of it's own. Take the man overboard incident last week. It seems all of the reports are about his survival in the ocean and what a great feat it was.

Has anyone stopped to ask why he was so drunk? Has anyone asked why he, a 30 year old man, was sharing a room with his 16 year old "godson"? No, they have not because that's not what everyone else was reporting. They were reporting the miraculous survival at sea.

Please give me a break. More on this whole media thing later.
