Mexico drug cartel arrest with swine flu masks on (April 2009, Daily Maily)

I know this is an old story, but I saw something about drug cartels in Mexico on the news again tonight and it reminded me of an image like this I saw earlier this summer – just about the time when both the cartels and the swine flu were making big time news and overshadowing the economy from worldwide news coverage. Interesting – both of these problems are still very much with us, but now healthcare reform in the United States, the economy again, and the North Korean trip of Bill Clinton to help free the journalists is all the buzz. Sometimes I wish the media didn’t have such a one-two story overload. Why not try to keep hitting all the important stories all the time (like Hillary Clinton’s trip to Africa, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the three U.S. civilians captured in Iran, etc., etc., etc.)?
