WTC, media and selective memory

I hear people complaining that we simply hear too much about the 11th of September!

I can *feel* a certain degree of anti-americanism in that. Ok, the media focus on the event since a few weeks, but we're free to turn off the radio or tv no?

And what is it about comparing what happened in the WTC with people dying from AIDS in Africa?
Of course it is terrible that the media never focus as much on people dying from poverty, hunger, disease or from war, as on people dying in a *spectacular* and massive terrorist attacks.

But let's respect the death of the WTC victims as much as we respect the death of others.

Now it's the entire fault of the media if they only focus on such events and not on others.
The fault of the media.
huh.
But the media are only here to feed us and give us what we want. *W*e buy the papers, *we* watch this kind of tv.

We simply have some kind of bad consciousness I guess sometimes. And me the first, no problem.

A big comforting thought to those who lost someone dear to them in the WTC attacks**~~*^* *
