That's part of my point I'm trying to get at.
Trouble in America = "civilization in the Midwest is decaying"
Trouble in France = "We care around the 5th day"
Trouble in Australia where a small army of Neo-Nazi supporters riot = "Blurb on the 3rd day"
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I "get it", Katrina and 9/11 were bigger events, but the social commentary on the events is what bugs me. Still, I get that, the big guy on the hill ****s up and everyone notices. Fine. Doesn't mean I can't comment on unfairness of it all.
