Saturday, August 25th was the deadliest day of fighting in Syria as over 300 deaths were reported. Yet the news cycle in the United States focused on the latest slander and pettiness from the US presidential election. Most all of the Sunday morning talk shows focused solely on the upcoming Presidential election – how hurricane Issac will impact the Republic Convention, whether Mitt Romney’s comment on his birth certificate (and subtle jab on Obama’s birth certificate allegations) were appropriate and what the latest polls indicated.
And why are you so surprised?
I am not. I liked the part about Petra.
That drives me nuts when I want to hear about Syria only to find endless hours of politics. Take a break already!
Unfortunately, the world is watching on TV while humans are being massacred.
