Explain this to me then ... from Tuesday through Saturday, all of the major
news networks broadcast continually, ceaselessly, without commercial
interruption ... not even to promote their own network shows ... not even to
promote their own news shows.
I'm sure many, many radio stations did the same (though I didn't listen to
much radio, what little I heard had no commercials).
And for the first 24 hours after the attacks, every major Web site (except
USAToday, I believe), stripped all banner ads from their sites.
And just about every mid-size daily newspaper and larger published a special
edition on Tuesday -- I haven't seen any that contain advertising. Ours
certainly didn't.
News organizations have lost tens of millions of dollars over the last week.
Have you heard them whine? They have poured every possible resource into
covering this story with no hope of recouping those losses. Have you heard
them whine?
Think about that the next time you want to criticize the media.

Tell me that the news is not a huge marketing machine. Wag the Dog.
