I wonder how much is really the failure of the U.S. to move on, and how much is an illusion creating by media vulturing? Because we had an orgy of 9/11 stories here, and the cause was even more evidently transparent, given that the tragedy didn't strike our soil or our citizenry. Many barrels were scraped to produce stories with an ostensible local slant. It seems like the general media has developed and almost OCD focus, where the story du jour is a hobby horse to be ridden until it breaks, long after the subject matter has currency or relevance while ignoring other news which is internationally important, but which can not be turned into a domestic cause célèbre.
