Media Obsessions Continued

Alright, so last week (aka the post bellow) I wrote critically on the media obsession of the royal wedding, however, there is a new media obsession.  This obsession is over the death of Osama Bin Laden.  Now I am less critical of this due to three certain things.  1: The relevance to our lives.  The death of a leader in the world's most well known terrorist group is a huge relief for many, and has changed people's lives more than a wedding in another country between a royal prince and some lady.  (Note my care on such details) 2: the media has not gone overboard with information.  Every article found on the royal wedding went down to details like who was invited, where in Osama's case, every article released information such as where, when, and how the death happened.  3:  the simple fact that after Osama’s death, I have not heard a word from the media about the "happy couple."  nuff' said.
