Quote:YES I FRICKING READ! STOP ASKING!I'm sure you read *stuff*. But when what you're linking tells a totally different tale than the one you're telling, I'm never quite sure what your intent is. This is not the first time your links flatly contradict the point you're apparently going for. Are you just trying to make sure I'm awake?
Quote:Right, but all day coverage was appropriate for a dead Kennedy. Props are due, yet...One of the longest serving, most influential, highest profile senators the US has ever had died, the last major member of one of the most powerful and famous American political families. You're comparing this to yet another speech by Bush? Was he really saying something that interesting, that couldn't possibly wait for the evening news? It's not like most presidential speeches get the drop-everything-and-listen treatment, unless the White House has actually *asked* for it.
Quote:Who hasn't gone to a funeral, and what was earth shattering about this latest one which required 10 stations to show it live and comment on it all day?Right. Because the news is that *a funeral is happening*. People need to know what goes on at funerals generally!
