What do you think this term means?

I have heard of it. It is talking about how the country is tired of hearing about Katrina and the devestation. Unfortunately, I think it's true. We are so bombarded with news from all over the world that we lose interest quickly as each new story appears. I know people in the New Orleans area and there is still so much that needs to be done down there. But, people have stopped caring in other parts of the country. The money that was collected was not distributed in a rational way, most people can't get their insurance to pay for rebuilding, it's still an awful situation for most of the area hit by Katrina. But, it's not "news" anymore. Very sad.
