Why Haiti? – April 25, 2008

This past week there have been sporadic reports on the famine taking place in Haiti. Granted, these reports have ranged from a twenty-second clip showing how “out of the control” Haitians are to more elaborate pieces that discuss how we are now experiencing a world-wide food shortage. There has been no sustained reporting, and, more importantly, no significant analysis on the “story”. The reports almost always leave the impression that it “their” fault and not “ours”.
