74. We're talking apples and oranges.
There is no question that the media could do a better job covering issues that impact more people.

But news coverage need not exclude human interest, or even entertainment, news stories.

And it's hyperbole to suggest that NO media sources are covering the lives of Iraqis or hungry Americans, or those who are uninsured. Not enough, I'll give you that.
