things that make me disgusted with the US media

apparently there has been another incident of cannibalism in the international media, a guy named Armin Meiwes ate a guy who begged to be eaten. has this popped up in us papers anywhere? no, of course not. but you can bet the rest of the world knows about jeffrey daumer(sp?) and the like. it is always so discouraging to me to see how the media selects what is and is not important to tell the american public. cannibals in 1st world countries? does that seem unimportant to ya'll? hell i think it's pretty important in 3rd world countries, but we don't hear much of that either.
