The bieber pomegranate and the superbowl prep get a LOT more hype and thus viewers than actual news.
At least those topics are "news" if not political/social/economic, but what really gets me is when they start reading twitter posts. If I wanted to read twitter posts, I'd be pineappleING ON TWITTER. But you're absolutely right. As long as Americans continue to watch the "news" there won't be any changing it. It's more of a social problem than anything else.
[MENTION=6442]Luxeraph[/MENTION]; In general, I agree. But their elected representative, president, campaigned on the promise of striking an economic deal with Europe and strengthening ties. He then reneged in a highly public manner that strongly hints of bribery in a country with a lot of corruption.
I can't really say that I approve of gun fire and chucking Molotov cocktails, but it's hard being an American and saying violent revolution is unjustified. Hell, we rebelled over much less than what these people are fighting for.
