Even D.C. does not exist for me.
Yep. For the vast majority of TV viewers, even that fraction that watches the “real” news on ABCCNNMSNBCPBSFOX and Al Jazzera, this event simply never happened.
I was in a Greyhound terminal from midnight on last night, and there forced to watch hours of CNN. Between the inane stories about the lady who swam from Cuba, and clueless commentary shows about Syria and chemical weapons, they had a reformed ex-Jihadist and a REpublican, forget his name but he looked like Benjamin Franklin with a weird hairdo. Surprisingly, they were both insightful and intelligent and both on the same page. Then the other talking heads, unable to either refute them or say anything worth hearing themselves, pretended that someone farted and politely ignored them, and continued to blather on. No biker stories, of course. It never happened because it didn’t happen on TV.
