No one questioned the economic development in this country, and
there is no reason to cease production because of a disaster in another
part of the world.
I believe the question per se was, that the media is very selective
in what the american people should see and actually get to see as opposed what's really happening outside of the USA.
Headlines like "new ballpark" and other "pressing" news are far more
important, than to count the actual death toll of american soldiers
who have died so senseless in this war (Iraq). No reports of despair,
no pictures of the atrocities - no no, in the land of Superbowl, we
don't get to see such things. It could utterly depress us, you know.
