9th July 2010 - Was Baudrillard onto something?

I watched the EBC 10 O Clock News tonight and the top story - the Moat "shootings" was 1) Not really relevant 2) Not really a story because NOTHING had happened 3) A sort of "PRE-STORY" - a story about a story that MIGHT happen.

The second story was the "SPY" story which is ALSO a bit of an odd "non-story" in a way.

The 3rd story was a real story - 101st UK soldier killed. Still NO MENTION of Afghan casualties. VERY ODD.

The 4th story was about how Spain seems to think it has ALREADY won the World Cup.


One possible question from all this:

Was BAUDRILLARD on to something?
