The news media covers what they think will get the the most viewers. Often they are wrong, but I don't think that the coverages equates to the outrage of most Americans.

I hope you are correct Dr. Boogie, and that people really are outraged over what is happening in this world, unfortunately I just don't think so. But, I also wonder if people like me are to blame - I switched on the evening before last and there was a piece on someone being flogged in the desert by ISIS and it sickened me to the point where I just could not watch, so I am definitely part of the problem. I cannot watch people being abused and mistreated so I push it to the back of my mind and turn to something easier to watch. So for all my big talk I am just as much part of the problem as most of this world.
What really surprises me is the international inability to do something. Take Putin invading the Ukraine and then threatening the rest of the world with his nuclear power ........... isn't this how WW11 started with Hitler invading Poland (am I right on it being Poland), and then continuing his march on Europe?
I for one will admit I just don't know - I guess I'm like almost everyone else, I want someone else to come along and clean it up because I don't know how!
So I think I am going to go back to burying my head in the sand and try to forget about it - after all if it's not yet at my door ..................
