Sean OBrien Reflection 11/15/2012

I think that the press that Spy gate scandal is getting is absolutely ridiculous. There is so much going on in the world especially with the tensions rising in the Battle between Israel and Hamas. Israel is now officially bombing Hamas. This week they killed the one of the top Hamas leaders and a result Hamas got pissed and has been continuously firing rockets into and around Tel Aviv. I was on Cnn the other day and i could barely find any mention of what was occurring in that particular area. Meanwhile headline news is about the CIA scandal. I mean granted it is a big deal, you have the head of American intelligence agency who may or may have compromised secrets or parts of the US. He is on record as saying that did not happen, but for obvious reasons you dont want to compromise said material. I just cant comprehend the vast amount of coverage. Where I logged onto the BBC and it was the first story that was being presented. I think that the US media is just very polarized and different from the rest of the world.
