Around here, in Northeastern Ohio, there's a far greater sense, or belief, that the media is possessed by aliens. I'd like to think that they choose what they publish according to interest and acclaim, but I think there are other factors that often overpower those two.<BR/><BR/>But, I may also just be very cynical.<BR/><BR/>Really, fascinating to get other perspectives.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175591212176951287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18369530.post-1154272390258028462006-07-30T17:13:00.000+02:002006-07-30T17:13:00.000+02:00Jill, don't take me too serious.

I like and respect America deeply.<BR/><BR/>It just gets my goat that Americans tend to turn everything into party politics and to overlook that both sides make mistakes. Not that this isn't done here as well, but the gap is generally not as deep here.<BR/><BR/>I can't quite agree about the media coverage, though. Usually, the media caters for those things for which they anticipate interest and acclaim, not the other way round.<BR/><BR/>Re Blogger: I haven't solved that mystery myself. I just know that Blogger hosts the Blogspot Blogs as well as the Blogger ones.The_Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529769143608862966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18369530.post-1154220069908717192006-07-30T02:41:00.000+02:002006-07-30T02:41:00.000+02:00Well, I can't really disagree with your conclusion...Well, I can't really disagree with your conclusion. Sex has turned into quite the touch point, pun intended, and that means that when something really is inappropriate, no one even really knows anymore because of how we hype up other stuff. Still, in a country this size with the diversity we have, we've trended toward letting the variety of sensitivities out there govern how we view what is and isn't appropriate, and then you end up with overreactions.<BR/><BR/>I do not know what the answer is, but I can tell you that I know many Americans think that we overreact and that the Europeans are happily much more at ease about sex in general.<BR/><BR/>As for Dubya, I have to tell you - he falls into the frat boy just want to turn away guy for me. It's just the cumulative effect after ALL THESE YEARS she said with a big sigh. It's like he can't stop doing this stuff. I mean, I barely notice, because it's just so expected. <BR/><BR/>So I would say that some of the issue could be the media's coverage. But then, that's often the issue, no?<BR/><BR/>Hey! I just noticed - this is a Blogger blog? But you don't have blogspot in the URL. How did you do that!?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175591212176951287noreply@blogger.com
