I’m not sure I agree that that is what the song is about. I think it is
saying there are two types of news stories (facts):
- Real news: “Bomb blast victim fights for life”.
- Celebrity tittle-tattle: “Princess Di is wearing a new dress”.

Now this would be NEWS !
Can’t this fashion victim just leave us alone.

Gore’s point is that media focus on the latter “fact” means that nothing is
done about the former. Therefore, changing the facts (the News Story) can
change the world.

Next thing they will tell us, is that H.Paul is representing New Zealand in
International Rugby League Test matches.

Who cares about Rugby League? That said, I’m now
loosing
interest in Union too.
