This famous photo of Elian Gonzalez being taken from his Miami relatives turned up thousands of times on TV broadcasts. I know you know the rant.
TV news speeds too fast.
It shills shamelessly to snag eyeballs and sell commercials in between those often ill-formed talking heads. Newspapers also are squeezed by time and budget pressures and increasingly do not report as thoroughly as they should. Web news flies even faster and is rife with unsubstantiated buzz. It's the most sensible, thorough and insightful analysis of the media-warped tale of Elian Gonzalez that I've seen to date. It's straight-up and savvy.
