Is it fine that I'm starting to focus more on international news?

I found out via Google news world, earthquake in china, political crisis in honduras, and insurgency still going on in iraq/afghanistan. our domestic news won't stop focusing on michael jackson and cover these more current world events!

Yeppers, it is the only way to find out what is really happening and quit being brainwashed by the Obama State Run News Organizations.

I think its a good idea to focus on international news because most Americans are cluless about what is going on in the world unless it is directly affecting them. There was a clip from the Daily Show the other night where a guy was asking people on the streets in Iran about American politics and they always new the answer, even when he asked if they knew who the speaker of the house was they knew the answer. Most Americans need to make a greater effort to be knowledgable about world issues and leaders.

Yes. It's also fine for domestic news to cover Michael Jackson, provided they do so in proportion to the remainder of the news, which they don't, because controversy is "dangerous." (What is really dangerous is the dumbing down of America by the likes of Faux "News," although the election of a conservative Democrat has shaken them enough to learn to do what they had forgotten about once Clinton left the White House: criticize the president. Of course, Clinton and Obama were elected, so maybe that's the difference.)

Strange...I knew about all those events and I've just been watching CNN.
