It seems that we are kept 'in the dark' about a great many things of far greater import (the more closed minded will disagree) than celebrities' mating habits, legal woes, etc.
This seems to be a concerted effort to keep the masses 'grounded' so to speak. I have read it a hundred times if I have read it once on this forum and others that "If it were true it would be on the news" right?....wrong!
History has shown that in ALL cases where there was a potentially catastrophic situation (Nuclear Holocaust is a great example) at hand the press virtually ignored it OR it was kept from the press or both.
