I think tonight was the most surreal time I ever spent in my life.

Watching the host and talking heads on TV studiously avoiding the burning hot news story that broke today made me both amused and edgy. Like I was an inhabitant of two opposite worlds. Anyone else get this strange, disquieting feeling?

I can only imagine how the hosts and pundits felt, being under gag orders.

They do it all the time, or at least usually with half of each story...

"Watching the host and talking heads on TV studiously avoiding the burning hot news story that broke today made me both amused and edgy."

You could tell that the corporate offices squashed this story on every network. The test will be Imus since his show is radio first, PMSNBC second. I still think Kerry will bail out. He can not afford to be live and gamble on a sound effect or lot's of Clinton cuts being played after he appears on the show.

For some of them, perhaps most, it was a self-imposed gag order. As usual.

Felt the same thing- imagine what we missed in the 70's and 80's when all we had were 3 news stations...

Kinda like the emporer has no clothes but everyone is afraid to say something...

O'Reilly flat out stated he wasn't going to mention the rumors on the web...

I feel exactly the same way. And did you EVER think you'd sit around and have Robert Reich explain to you what YOU should think about the Vietnam War???? Amazing. Let's test what we saw, since I don't know what you saw:

How many Democrats did you see trying to make the link that Bush lied about his DUI, he lied about his NG service, he lied about WMD, etc., so he cannot be trusted -- and "this election is about trust"......and it's about national security and who can you believe?".......and of course, the words "war hero" three million times!

Am I even close?
