Filed under: Hillary Clinton, Foreign Policy, Woman Up, AfghanistanI was shocked to learn that four of the top-ten-most-read stories in Time magazine this week were about Tiger Woods and Amanda Knox. Although I have followed Tiger's career since 1997 when he burst on the golf scene, until last week, I had never heard of Amanda Knox. As I now know, Knox is a 22-year-old American exchange student who an Italian jury last Friday found guilty of murdering her British roommate two years earlier. A closer look at the most-read list showed just one serious topic -- the discovery of a planet-like object. Nowhere to be found on the list were articles about things that I do care about, such as Afghanistan, health care reform, Copenhagen, the financial crisis, and the budget deficit. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
