Knute Berger has a piece in Seattle Weekly saying something I've felt for a long time: that with so much media out there now, it's people's own fault if they're ill-informed. And on top of that, any story that supposedly has been "covered up" hasn't really been.
The dirty secret is that more people need to get off their asses and read more newspapers and magazines and listen to and watch informative TV and radio, to become halfway informed... now you can read virtually every major newspaper in the world, for free, every day on the Web. Or listen to the BBC. Or watch Al Jazeera. Or follow the news wires.
If you think a pet story of yours has been "undercovered," go to Google News and look up whatever you want to read about. There'll probably be a couple dozen results.
