Firstly thanks for the post. Just an observation, but perhaps part of the problem is what makes news. Just like in this country, people going about their business is not newsworthy, but if a wacko shoots up a business it is.
I have no doubt that the average person in Haiti, although poor, is a decent person trying to provide for his family. Is that newsworthy? Nah, but is a news ‘expose’ showing some religious fringe steeped in superstition, fraid so.
