Avoiding the outside world.

Recovering from the Song of Steel AGM yesterday. Thankfully all this going out has insulated me a little from that war despite BBC News 24's incursion onto BBC1 yesterday.Now don't get me wrong, I'm as concerned about whats happening around the world as anybody else. However just because modern media can bring us a blow by blow account of every step doesn't mean we are more informed at the end of it. Would people be rusing to watch the Battle of the Somme on 24 hour news? We certianly seem to be watching a TV war for a TV geneation :-(
