if i only knew...

I was glued to

I was glued to the TV screen last week, i just couldn't NOT watch it. Tuesday's events stirred up my world, and i still haven't really got a grasp of what really is happening here. I am hoping for a better world for my future kids... Sunday was the day when i said it was enough. I couldn't watch any more of the TV coverage for my own mental health...and shut down the TV. So after that, i was thinking, how well did the media do in covering the attacks?

Well, here in Europe, we have CNN, BBC News, Euronews and MSBNC Europe to choose from, plus the national channels of course. I was watching CNN, and occasionally BBC, but i found myself drawn back to CNN all the time because of teh familiarity of the voices (i watch it a lot even in peaceful times) and the comprehensive and varied reports from all over the US and the world. BBC was the second best, maybe if i wasn't biased towards CNN because i am used to it, i would have liked it much more than CNN actually. MSNBC was too business focused for me, but they *are* a business channel after all... Euronews was fair enough, but not much special, they are also partly owned by CNN, so got a lot of their reports from there. Our national TV was showing CNN's coverage nonstop on Tuesday and part of Wednesday with Hungarian commentary, that was at times unbearably stupid and
inappropriate, at other times very interesting.
