"The global reaction" is just horse s. Who can speak for the whole world? Nobody. This is just a little conceit/deceit that journalists like to invoke, pretending to speak on behalf of the speechless/thoughtless/timid masses. Actually, they themselves are the speechless/thoughtless/timid ones.

This is just a little conceit/deceit that journalists like to invoke, pretending to speak on behalf of the speechless/thoughtless/timid masses.

That's because most journalists are elitists who think they know what's best for the rest of us "unwashed masses." Thank heaven for talk radio and the Internet.
