This morning I heard an interesting comment on NPR about the “big foot carcase” report recently appeared on the mass media. That is: when the world is in turmoil – Georgian war, Iraq, declining economy, subprime crisis, why such a piece of obviously fake news that was originated from a used car dealer’s press conference would attract so much attention (if you still remember a couple years ago the producer of the Washington bigfoot admitted, through his son’s mouth, that he played the world, after his death). Well, the answer is short, the media here is dying for a big buzz and on the other hand, people seem to like to be fooled. It’s so much like the Tibet issue that is steamed and stir-fried, over and over again, for the sake of taste. News neutrality has been a joke after all…
