Shot in the face.

There is a running joke in the media. We are what we eat. More attuned, we are what we cover. I am not the media, and today is Sunday so I am pinch hitting for the AIs.

I scanned the news headlines from around the world. Many newspapers and media show their biases for attracting eyeballs and what they consider to be important to their readers. Here are the newspapers and their headlines as of 1:35 pm Sunday afternoon.

The bullet struck the baby in the face, traversing his head, struck the mother too. The infant died later.

That seems like a ooorah injury, no? Ready to be one at 7 months brah. Better man than me that little child.

His name was Sam? lol one of Tolkien’s little coincidences I am guessing. Samwise Gamgee were you dropping no eaves?

Not me Mr. Gandalf Sir.

Le Monde for the win. The have the best and most well rounded coverage this afternoon. The rest take the easy way home, oooh shots fired, missiles fired, eyeballs, print.

Israel has been raining air force bombs on Lebanon but that never gets as much empathy as well Israel itself gets bombed. Big headlines. Someday dared to bomb Israel. Do you think the Lebanese should be grateful to Iran or not for diverting the attention away from them? If you saw a big man stomping on a child and distracted him with a stone should a child be grateful or think: hey man don’t interrupt the stomping, he’ll just come back with more anger.

Tell me that analogy doesn’t work. That works right Mark? That man might bring his even bigger friend with even bigger bombs. To stomp some more.

Are we the good guys Mark? Look Sam in the eye Mark - tell him that we are still on the good side. Tell him Mark.
