Wilkinson has highlighted something that I have been feeling for some time.  American media, be it sports, gossip, celebrity, or politics, has for at least the past ten years (I am 24 so my sample size is rather small) presented each story of the day as something that is a really important, defining event. In turn, this has had the effect on me and many of my peers of the feeling that nothing is important.  Which is why I have been so excited to see something truly important happen in my lifetime when Obama was elected.  Now we have another truly important event, the economic crisis, and the media is still making micro events the story and missing the enormous picture.  It truly is dumbfounding to me.
