Real Americans couldn't care less about this. In fact, 298 out of 300 million Americans don't watch the highest rated cable news show. Add up the top 10 shows, and something like 280 out of 300 million are not watching. No one cares about important stuff. They sure as hell don't care about meaningless crap like this.
Well, I dumped all TV in 1997 and miss nothing. When I am exposed to it in airports, etc., it is literally comical. I was in a friends hotel room yesterday after riding the STP and his tv was on with the sound off. These guys were on the TV for HOURS standing near crashing waves because of some hurricane. How long does it take to report a weather story? I am thinking maybe a minute with pictures.
It became high comedy to look at the screen from time to time and belittle the sense of urgency on they guys face or some other irrelevant piece of trivia he was trying to make appear to be important.
