The Circus: Newzjunky a Megaphone

I don't like to denigrate anyone's work, as there are many people locally in 'old media' who do a great job....But todays HOTLINE interview with Danielle from the Tilted Kilt was revealing...This was a 4.0 student with the usual lack of awareness of world events but other wise very bright...She works hard, is dependable and is on track for a career in radiology.
When we talked current events she said she gets her news from Newzjunky.com, by checking the site throughout the day... Danielle specifically said she does not read newspapers....It's not because she is being mean or hates them...They just are not on this bright 19 year old's radar.
Its a different world and I am sure there are many like Danielle whose view of the world is squeezed in between real news and two-headed goats and Lady GaGa's latest outfit...
