On another note, it strikes me that your 'nal' should really be 'nile', and my 'Max' should really be 'Dri'....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

On another note, it strikes me that your 'nal' should really be 'nile', and my 'Max' should really be 'Dri'.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

I was watching CNN a little this morning and I decided instead of extreme left, they should be OCD. They grab an issue and just run with it and you would bearly know anything else was going on in the world. (In fairness, CNN.com is better than this.) I remember thinking during the Mueller investiagation that I was waiting for the headline "Robert Mueller goes to the bathroom. What this means and why it shows Trump's impeachment is imminent.""For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

The other problem with 24/7 news is that organizations care more about being first than being correct. I've noticed that some of the sources I prefer tend to lag behind the mainstream media when it comes to reporting the "big" story of the day, but that's because they're waiting for more information so they can present a more complete picture instead of going for "You heard it here first!"Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Every small storm is exaggerated and consequences explored to the nines. The problem, as Pix has correctly noted, is that a real crisis can get lost in the noise. I believe her phrase is "when everything is a crisis - nothing is." It's a POV I agree with, but an unavoidable side-effect of the 24/7 news cycle coupled with the revenue-producing nature of news.
