Based on various news broadcast I heard today I would say, no, the Media do not take us seriously.
THE UNBELIEVABLY DUMB HEADLINES TODAY
1) While the World is on fire the news opened with the message that some hardcore socker fan died in hospital today after being shot. Condolences could be offered on a special website. Really!
What is the importance for the nation to know. Is our live in danger if we don't? Are we loosing our jobs if we don't, is WW3 starting because of his death? I don't think so.....
2) Romania is planning a communist Ceaucescu tour as a tourist attraction
3) A horseman made a good impression on a horse-race (1/4 page front page picture)
4) An article on Homesickness and the negative effects of it
5) A penguin called "Happy Feet" will be brought back to the South Pole
6) The DenHelder (NL) Powerboatrace is relocated to Italy
So what is the relevance to make this headline news, other than taking our minds of the really important stuff like the fact that our PM (Rutte) still couldn't convince the parliament that he is truthfull and honest about the billions of our Euro's that he is about to dump in the black hole coalled Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy (for starters).
The media SHOULD be writing about 215 billion Euro's of our money. 215 billion Euro's translates to over 15,000 Euro's EACH. That's half a years salary that we are coughing up to bail out the financially incompetent!
On what page do you think the 215 billion Euro scam was printed? Exactly, it wasn't!
I definitely agree that nobody can get away with it unless your cover it up.....
