One must remember that first and foremost TV is entertainment first and content way down the list. This includes news broadcasts. Accuracy in journalism, especially broadcast media, is not a priority at all, when it is ratings that the bean counters watch.
I need to purchase another box of salt as mine was all used up with the President's speeches, more is needed for TV news channels. Actually even more entertaining will be the campaigns of 500 candidates for Governor of California. No one will be able to solve their economic problems until Illegals no longer have access to the state treasury, and the Enron officials start doing hard prison time, not to mention moving WorldCom into Chapter 7 (liquidation) It is sure becoming easy to be cynical, isn't it? ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
