J'aime bien la remarque suivante:
«
Nicholas Kristof pointed out in a New York Times column that ABC News
had a total of 18 minutes of Darfur coverage in its nightly newscasts all
last year, and that was to the credit of Peter Jennings; NBC had only 5
minutes, CBS only 3 minutes. This is, of course, a micro-fraction of the
time devoted to Michael Jackson.
Why is it, I wonder, that when a genocide takes place in Africa, our
attention is always riveted on some black American miscreant superstar?
During the genocide in Rwanda ten years ago, when 800,000 Tutsis were
slaughtered in 100 days, it was the trial of O.J. Simpson that had our
attention.

l'Afrique.
