# I think there is just too much tv time reserved for news these days.
When nothing interesting happens (which is most days), they just need to fill it with reports like these and .... opinions from the man in the street *shudders*

# Very interesting stuff.

I really think that Dutch reporter Joris Luyendijk's book 'Het zijn net mensen' (They are just like people) should be translated into more languages. Very interesting view on how reporters mostly have no idea what is going on and clearly know they are just guessing or at least aren't able to get the full picture. It is also a nice view in modern day Islamic countries.

# Oh, it seems the book will be released in the UK soon.
