  I dont really understand why world media is covering it so hard. There hasnt been a day without some kind of article about it on the first page. Its irritating. I seriously couldnt care less about that kind of drama.

  I didnt mean it like that, of course should they be saved but publishing 3 articles per day in every european newspapers about something like this that happends on the other side of the world is way to much. It makes no sence to me why our media would publish personal information about every miner that was trapped down there. They turned it into a Big Brother instead of treating it as for what it is: a catastrophy.

  Some misery guts about.

   

  They got all the coverage because the world needed a good news story.

   

  Economies are up the shoot, unemployment is high, wages are all but frozen on corporate induced fear of redundancies, wars in the middle east, terrorists, flooding,

  etc. etc..

   

  So, lets have some blanket coverage.
