My oh my.

I don't watch much teevee, either, but this pet food recall has been all 
over televised news, sandwiched into the two-thirds of a typical broadcast 
that is not advertising. That, however, is not the point.

Your computer connected to the Internet is the most convenient news delivery 
source available to you. For example, click up a copy of your favorite 
Internet browser, then go to http://www.google.com/ After that page is 
loaded, click on the word News, then in the dialog box type the words pet 
food, and then click on the Search button. Google will retrieve, and your 
browser will present to you a month's worth of stories about pet food. At 
the moment I am writing this, the list contains 14,667 stories.

Even without searching for pet food, one can just scan the headlines in the 
Business section (click the Business icon on the News page's left side) to 
see the most recent current pet food story.

These days it is very easy to find continuing examples of human folly and 
aggressive ignorance -- they're just a few clicks away.
