CNN says a plane violated air space.

Thought it might be carrying the Kentucky Governor.

Did anyone hear about 5 minutes ago on FNC - they said that President Bush and First Lady may be coming to town tonight to take part in the ceremony?

CSPAN just promised NO COMMENTARY coverage!

The CBS webcam is also free of talkingheads.

Now, if FoxNews could just do a NO BANNER covererage, I'd be happy. [Their banner irritates me to no end.]

If you were my employee, I'd understand this week only!

for the cube dwellers, the plane has landed, and is taxing to the drop-off point.

Someone needs to tell Fox that the subtitle under the picture of AF One that says casket reaches Andrews AFB is not appropriate IMHO!

What is with Fox today -- they are driving me nuts!

MSNBC has Ronald Wilson Reagan FAREWELL

CNN has The State Funeral of Ronald Reagan, June 9, 2004

Fox just changed to Farewell to President Reagan. Guess I wasn't the only one shocked by their original graphic words on the bottom.
