MainStream Media Love teh Pirates NOW, but Where were They Last Year?



News.bbc.co.uk reported on this over the weekend and it struck me as

very odd. The media seems to be making such a big deal out of these

pirates now, but with pirates commiting statistically approaching 1

attack per day last year, where has the MSM been?



That said, I don't think the pirates should be getting that much

coverage anyway since they're really not pirates in any real sense. I

mean, these are Somalis for crying out loud--it's not like they're

plundering ships for gold--what kind of funding do they even have?
