simon, or haiti.

why is it that simon the reality tv show host from american idol man headline new on drudge over the haiti stories. haiti is a place that needs our help, and our prayers. drudge report is a place that i go to read the new. not look at local magazine headlines, but the news. i am kind of upset and the lack of reporting that is taking place. there are millions of people in haiti giving of their time and lives to help these people, but america has already gone back to their petty lives. pretending that since they cannot see it, since it did not happen in their back yard... it must not be that big of a deal. 
one day america might need that help, but of course reality tv will come before the dying people. cause that is what this country has come to.

matthew 5:2-12


 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.  Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

so please tell me why this is happening. if you know please tell me, where have our hearts gone, cause i know there are people out there giving time and effort for this cause. how come simon is on the headline of drudge, and haiti gets nothing. what has news become.



enjoy.

  1. that's sooooo true... we've been talking about that in our mass. comm class. News people are trained to say "now, this" so that we might return to our easy lives, and watch the next news reel about a drugged up celebrity or something of that accord.... craziness I tell ya!
