I like Ana's game but personally find two problems with it !. It is not much
fun to play if you're deeply involved in the issue yourself- for example a
Jew dealing with antisemitism. 2. The level of debate of significant
issues in the American press is treating everything as a kind of sports
event. Who's winning, who socred a goal, whose butt got kicked is more news
worthy than the issues themselves. (note the kick butt slogan of the anti-
smoking campaign)In fact the game metaphor shifts the role of the reporter
from investigative journalism to cheer leader.
