I often avoid certain news stories: not because they’re unimportant, but because I doubt I’ll learn much by discovering them in the day-by-day dribble of the daily press.
The BP Oil Spill is one: I’m not going to bother with short articles on it, but I’d really love to follow the long ones. I’ve idly watched the speculation ramp up to biblical proportions, but have no idea how to interpret it.
[no content here, as you can see, just a stick in the ground to note how shameful it is that I know nothing about this]
