Justin Bieber is 'news,' Netanyahu not so much

9:45 a.m. EST, January 25, 2013

Israeli elections were held on Tuesday, yet I failed to see any mention of this historic event anywhere in your paper on Wednesday. Shame on you

But fear not, there is a blurb on "Bieber: Master of the Twitterverse."

Just when I thought The Sun couldn't get any more pathetic, you surprise me by showing that things are even worse than I thought.

Foreign news coverage in US media is pathetic in general. Parochialism and celebrity news rule. It's sad.
