Here is the beginning of the new year and summaries are born. I give a little mix from them:


1. Geov Parrish
2002 media follies
The most overhyped and underreported stories of the year.
"As a result, two-thirds of Americans in a recent poll were reported to believe that Iraq was responsible for 9/11. That's a combination of a cynical and extraordinarily effective propaganda campaign, and corporate reporters not doing their job -- or at least, not the job they're supposed to be doing."
And so on. I think, this bloke wrote this well; all follies are in the row.
Well, and I attach an old, but good map to this article.


2. This retroCRUSH guy was not lazy to collect the most irritating things of the previous year and added a photo to the articles.
(I was surprised, that W are just on the 20th place.)
