TV News Fails to Answer the Truly Important Questions, By Mark Erickson

I watched tonight’s WGN evening news broadcast. (I believe WGN stands for World’s Greatest Network.) The broadcast included the story that Snooki was not arrested in Italy. The broadcast did not address the following:

Why does promoting democracy have to include the killing of children and vulnerable people?

Why are weapons our number one export?

Why does the United States have more than 700 military bases in more than 140 countries?

Why do we cheer when the government chooses to assassinate someone instead of using the rule of law?

Why do we ignore the Geneva Conventions and use torture?

Why do nearly half of my tax dollars go to support the war industry?
