Dayna,
My interpretation of your blog may have taken me to the wayside a bit, but I really liked the focus. While I am a sports guru, I am ashamed to say that I honestly didn't pay attention to the riots. Did I hear about them? Well yes. But I am an example of society and how certain aspects of media affect us. I was focused more on the LA Lakers and their win to really think or even pay attention to any negative media. Which brings me back to both your point and mine. Your absolutely right, I too googled the riots and it wasn't a lack of correct search tactics, it more the scenario of not really reporting on the story. Obviously this is a reflection of both the media and a brand name. The media to a certain extent only reports what they are told to, and obviously they are limited on certain "touchy" topics. That is apparent with this situation. Why would the media take away from a multi-billion dollar business just to talk about a "little riot"? That is the sad part about the media. It almost seems to me that they can be bought and paid for like a material item. How insane!! They aren't going to report on a riot when the LA Lakers just won, that is their most important priority....or story I mean. The media in all forms must be held accountable. Well done on your blog.....the end justified the mean.
