According to the FBI 2002 report, a murder is commited every 32 minutes in the United States. That means roughly about 48 murders are commited per day. Is the United States a MESS? Now how many of these murders are on the news? Go to your cnn.com and see if they reported any. How about yesterday? Why not? Is it because it's not attention grabbing?? What would your perception of the United States be if CNN reported each and every one of these murders on its front page every 32 minutes? Think beyond front page news kid.
If they report a murder every 32 minutes, most people will get bored watching the same thing over and over again.

Is the US under occupation? Are police stations under attack? Are bombs exploding daily? I'm sure if that was the case you'd think the US is a mess.

When a simple Iraqi murders another Iraqi it doesn't usually get reported on CNN or FOX either.

I'm a big fan of the media, used to hate it though
