World map by seconds of US TV news coverage, feb 2007



What matters because it's known to matter = what is real ? In many senses yes, surely? There's an expression to describe this: "consensus reality" which people are using now. At least I think so because I read it in the Huffington Post.

Ok, the image above represents network news only and not citizen journalism, blogs and everything else that's emergent now. But it nonetheless represents the norm in the sense that one person communicating with another in America probably has to use this kind of world view as a reference point. This is the common ground as it were - and it's not pretty...
