Relativity

Why is the media so upset about Lance Armstrong admitting to cheating at a game but so uninterested in Obama lying about the deaths of four Americans?

Armstrong is a bum but nobody died because he is a cheater.

It's not just relativity of course. The media loves to keep us interested in the things that don't really matter--cheating at sports is wrong and Armstrong should be punished but it's not about the real life of most Americans--so we ignore things that do matter--forcing people to buy insurance that covers abortion in direct violation of their First Amendment rights.
