Why is the Olympics being covered more on the news than the war between Russia and Georgia?

Question

If this is the beginning of World War 3 why on earth do we care what country has the fastest swimmer, hurler, or spear throwers (probably africa)? shouldn't we be more concerned with finding peace for these two nations? Won't it be great once America sticks its nose in between those two nations and makes matters 10x worse like we always do? How and what can America do this time to make the situation worse?

Answer 1

Do you know what the media is meant to do?

Make money! That's why it sells the stories it deems to generate the most revenue.

Answer 2

i agree.

but the president isnt here, he's at the olympics

i think America should take more precaution, but the public likes to be entertained more than face reality.... so i guess for the next 2 weeks, the olympics will dominate the TV

=D

Answer 3

yah......ww3 rofl

Answer 4

Because in America, the media only tells you what you're supposed to know... what war with Russia?... there is no war with Russia. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain... now turn the channel back to the Olympics and grab yourself another cup of kool-aid... its very refreshing!

Answer 5

It's really scary. We could see things we have never seen before.  Like buildings around us being blown up or our cities being destoyed.  Didn't that dinky country start it?  And what if RUSSIA calls on CHINA for help?  I'm only talking to you not these other retards that don't think or realise how serious this is.  They showed those two girls hugging,  one from Russia and Georgia after there olympic match .....Can you imagine being forced to hug someone'sn who's countries leader is killing your people? Well I hope and pray this matter gets resolved or that we stay out of it would be nice but not likely.

Answer 6

Well since the Olympics ideals is about peace and prosperity. Georgia govt and Russian govt is not doing it. So they get less respect of that?  

Answer 7

I usually watch the news online...AOL..FOXNews..Yahoonews to catch up with things..

Answer 8

The Olympics is an important international event. It deserves coverage like any bad news unfolding anywhere in the country and around the world. Besides, one shouldn't report something you don't have all the facts to.
