Funnny thing. I used to just think it was my professions that TV always got wrong, but it had all the others right. But the more people I meet, every one of them says the same thing: TV totally screws up its depiction of my profession. And the list of professions that it might be getting right is getting smaller and smaller every day....
Poor Dr. Varmus probably thinks that they only screw up medicine and science. Well, I can tell him they screw up the military and aviation. My friends say the same for police work, firefighting, and law.

I still keep cable channels on for breaking news frequently. I'm a news junkie. I gave up TV shows about the military and medicine long ago. I may watch movies or the history channel if there's nothing on Fox News, Dennis Miller or Joe Scarborough but a seasonal hurricane. There was a funny movie on Cablevision's channel 75 in NYC tonight called "Shanghai Fever" if you could tolerate subtitles.
I wonder what the big brains are thinking now that Fox News had higher ratings than the broadcast networks for the RNC convention.
For the past six years, if it isn't the Fox News, History, Discovery, and whoever-has-the-Braves-game channels, it doesn't get watched at my house.
