Trival "news" and terror plots from the movies

Well, now we can all rest comfortably knowing that the man allegedly responsible for the murder of Jon-Benet Ramsey has been caught. This s0-called story was the lead in all the local and national news broadcasts last night. Actually, for a couple of days now. This is a clear illustration that apart from worrying whether the media is biased toward the conservative or liberal sides, we should really worry that they are biased toward the trivial and sensational over the meaningful and important. To them, a 10-year old murder case is more important than the war in Iraq/Afghanistan, the economy, and the situation in Lebanon/Israel. Don't concern yourself with a judge ruling against the Bush administration's program of warrentless surveillance. Just check to see whether Brad and Anjolina are still together.
One recent story that actually is important is the one about the plot to bring down UK-US flights. Could they have succeeded? Here is an interesting article that pretty much illustrates the homeland security folks are, well, incompetent. But you already knew that. The only comfort is, most would-be terrorists seem to be pretty incompetent too.
