Media+UN=Media Nations?

Two Items up for discussion: Media, and a failed United Nations bill. The title of this post just sounded neat.

Have you ever noticed how the media always fades in and out of what's going on? Why don't they ask, "Mr. President, where the hell did your Mission to Mars go?".

As an example, the crisis in Sudan is still more terrible than ever, if not worse, the media seems to forget about unless something really bad happens or a country pitches in, right? The media always seems to do this, to go to wherever is popular despite several thousand people dying in other countries.

So temporarily ditching other forms of media, I have started using Al Jazeera as a resource. Yep, that Al Jazeera. The terrorist supporting romp in the sand. It's not that bad as some people would like to have you believe. Yes, it does show terrorists doing stuff free of censorship. But that may not be all bad, if you actually go to this link. There is honest, quality journalism going on there. They are based in the country of Qatar, the only country that starts with a "Q".

Oh, and the link is in english, in case you were wondering.

In other news, in United Nations news, they defeated an American backed plan to ban cloning in stem cell research. I am sure glad it failed. We need it now more than ever, and I can't grasp why these people could pass up the opportunity. Yes, I've heard the fight. "Taking human lives". It is an inalienable right to do so through abortion, and I see why it wouldn't be any different through stem cell research. And besides, it's a little different. They do it much earlier on, and so it makes it gives humanity another option: a new life or a new cure. Let us be selfish and take the cure.

We sure need cures to our numerous problems.
