Yeah. I can imagine. In fairness, as aero points out, other topics aren't necessarily treated in a much better way, especially foreign policy topics. I dare say everyone whose studies or personal interests were strongly focused on a particular foreign country or region gets annoyed frequently enough at the media coverage of said country or region.
