The Rest Of The World: Do You Care About It?

To be charitable, the discussion about American ignorance and apathy regarding global current events is certainly a conversation worth having, and the idea that a local news program would devote four valuable minutes — time that could be spent extolling the virtues of area puppies or bemoaning the fate of beloved delis that are shutting down due to rising rents or trying to scare you about crime — to the topic, even going so far as to get a college professor to engage in the exchange, is rather admirable. On the other hand, four minutes? About whether or not we give a shit about the rest of the world? WHO CARES? SHOW ME THE PUPPIES.
