The coverage of major tragedies sells more opportunities for selling advertising to stimulate "The-Economy" of consumption --- which is the arbitrator of what is "valuable". News coverage is inherently biased in a systematic way which distorts the citizens' sense of what is really happening in their communities. The small acts of kindness are not reported. The small tacit threats by small bullies are not reported. They seem to be TOO- SMALL-TO-COUNT; but in total they lay all of the foundations for the MAJOR-TRAGIC-EVENTS. But the reporting obscures the roots of the MAJOR-TRAGIC-EVENTS --- all of the small tacit threats by obscure Domineering- Bullies whom no reporter is watching. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious Ways of Shalom. (c) 2008 by Paul A.
