A metaphor about the news.

In some ways, frogs are similar to humans. They enjoy exploring national parks. At least, the outdoor savvy ones do. The average frog visits approximately 0 national parks of the course of their lifetime. Some though, are very lucky. A good number of frogs reside inside national parks and are lucky enough to explore the park every day. Another population of frogs reside very close to national park borders, and are occasionally able to save up enough for a pass to visit the park they live so close to. Frogs who live in the park do not need passes.

Of course, the national parks of the frog world are much smaller than what we humans get to experience. We would probably feel slightly cramped in a frog national park. The frogs however, get to feel the vastness of many national parks just as we humans do in ours, just at a different scale. Except for Gateway Arch National Park. Frogs often find this park small, but the experience still extraordinary. Do to the sizes of their parks, and the vastness of the country (this does not change for frogs), national parks for frogs are spread out much too far to realistically travel between. Most frogs cannot drive or fly. Therefore, even the lucky ones who live in or near a park will never get to see another one in their lifetime. This is a crisis. Because visiting national parks is a sign of education, prosperity, and freedom, it would be reasonable to assume that most frogs are closer to the bottom of the socio-economic hierarchy. The wealth distribution in the frog community is clearly disproportional. How can we solve this crisis? I think a good start would be to expand the borders of national parks, allowing more frogs to reside inside or close to them. Thusly making them more accessible and available to underrepresented frog communities. Tickets prices will of course stay the same.
