I Just Don't Get It

I Just Don't Get It - During the nineties, every other week in Time magazine there'd be a feature about the current doings of Hollywood moguls Barry Diller and Michael Ovitz. The articles were long and involved, and obviously took some extensive reportage. And to some extent, the tradition continues.

And the end result was, the average Time reader probably knew more about Barry Diller and Michael Ovitz than about the upcoming conflicts in the Balkans, certainly more than we did about teh goings-on in the Arab world.

It's a sign that someone is disconnected from life in America. Is it the big news media, or is it me?

Anyone?
