We aren’t even going to make it to 2012. Society has got its shit all mixed up. I logged on to my email website, and instead of finding information about the economy, healthcare, unemployment, or the war, the headline is “Town Mourns Albino Squirrel.”
The link led to a bit on fox news about an albino squirrel got hit by a car in England. News becomes interesting for the viewer one of two ways. First, if it affects them locally, such as a school catching fire or road closures. Secondly, international news garners attention purely because of the vastness of the event. Such as stock market crashes and the international price of oil. Rarely, something will make the news that fits in either of these categories. A man dressed as a clown robbing a convenience store is an example of this. Usually these other news stories have some kind of humor or meaning to the viewer.
In conclusion, what is a national news station doing talking about a dead squirrel an ocean away from us?
Here is a link to the video
