Here is a good essay concerning how the top news stories of our day seem to go nowhere:
All of these stories have something in common: tons of unanswered questions, which the news media shows no interest whatsoever in following up on. And no consequences. People die, nations rise and fall, money disappears, and everybody forgets.
This can’t just be about the diminishing returns of the grotesquely over-hyped “information age” — though the blowback from computers and all they have wrought may be tremendous. No, the memory hole is the truest signifier of the times we live in: the Age of Anything Goes and Nothing Matters.

Shouldn't all these issues have a resolution, or are we just gonna accept the view that "shit happens" and then "unhappens"?
