6. I know what you mean about "big news"

May 2012

There have been so many major news stories, it is often hard to keep them up front. Look how quickly the tsunami in Japan and their nuclear reactors just faded away even though it is still an important story. I just happened to see a news crawl that said Japan shut down its last reactor, making them nuclear free for the first time in over 40 years. I thought that was a pretty big story.

Meanwhile, we get the same stories repeated all day, sometimes for days, instead of getting a reasonable mix of what is going on in the world.
