Self-serving, yes -- but not entirely wrong. MT @thehill: Obama: Media makes you think ‘world is falling apart’ http://ow.ly/AT86Q
@laura_lrnzo for better or worse, 100 yrs ago, if people were being killed in the Middle East, would anyone in America care (or even know)?

@mattklewis @laura_lrnzo I remember in the 90's ppl were being killed in Africa by Al-Qaeda and nobody cared in America. WH didnt even care -
@TomTomJAnderson
@mattklewis Different mental parameters, when you don't think it will ever affect you. -
@laura_lrnzo
@mattklewis yep, it isn't the fault of media several preventable disasters occurred because gov couldn't 'connect dots'. -
@TomTomJAnderson There's a general point that we're aware of a lot more bad things bcos of soc media. Trayvon certainly wdnt hav hit w/o it.

@TomTomJAnderson You can have Twitter-feeds from cities across the country, & be overwhelmed at the # of random killings on any given day.

@laura_lrnzo
@mattklewis so is the 'world falling apart' or is it ppl view our gov as being impotent to do its primary job? -
@laura_lrnzo
@mattklewis I'm sure our#POTUS wants the focus away from the recent failings of government to do its fundamental job. -
@TomTomJAnderson
@mattklewis Oh, I don't argue that. It's a moot point, anyway. He looks about to ignore this until it blows up, literally. - 7 more replies
