Change The Channel, Yo!

President Obama

Outrage in the US over the publication of what is, in fact, a humorous comment on the state of their mainstream media (A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?), and the level of debate of their political right.

Lets see what else happened over the last few days;

US air strike killed 47 wedding guests
US ‘killed 47 Afghan civilians’
US to investigate air strike that killed 47 Afghan civilians
Nine US troops killed in Afghanistan
US suffers heavy Afghan losses
Nine US troops killed in fresh wave of attacks by Taliban
Militants breached US Afghan base
US troops abandon Afghan outpost
Revealed: How Guantanamo pushes inmates to the edge
First Guantanamo video released

Not much going on. Naturally the cover of the New Yorker should take precedence.
