If it is such an important issue, why is not a single TV station reporting on the Supreme Court's verdict? They're not because no one out in America gives a damn about it when we have troops in Iraw and a War on Terror to fight.

Uh dude, you are the one putting on the Chicken Little act.

Iraq or the War on Terror??

I think more people are more concerned about that stupid made-for-tv wedding tonight than anything unimportant like Iraq, the War on Terror or Sandra Dee O'Connor using the Constitution as kindling.

And to take it even further, the public, generally, is more interested in Michael Jackson and Koby Bryant that it is the War on Terror or Iraq.

So, truly important issues, which will have long-term effects, are ignored by the media entirely, or mentioned briefly. I include the Fox New Channel in this, as well.

"The Supreme Court today upheld the Campaign Finance Reform laws, but, now, here's our lengthy report on what's happening today in the Michael Jackson case."

Every network is doing this, to the detriment of public understanding of what is actually happening out there.
