"We're sinking faster than Homer Simpson's sofa." And why wouldn't a third to 50% of the population want to watch me cheer for Democratic candidates?

"Yahoo.com, Google.com,Brietbart.com, AllHeadlineNews.com,FreeRepublic.com I mean for real...does one need to wait til 6 pm to hear a distorted view on the news when we can get the story as it is happening in real time?"
The answer will be YES, if Lugar and Pence succeed in their quest to define journalism. It appears they want the Internet and blogs to be excluded from First Amendment free press protection.

I get my news from talk radio, FR and Drudge, and an occasional newspaper. Not TV newscasts.

"on election night November 2004, twice as many people still turned to the old commercial networks as did cable for the results."
I watched CNN on election night as they were the last station in denial about GW's win. I hoped to see Wolf Blitzer hang himself.

They have football on those networks? I thought football games were all on Fox and ESPN.

The average age of viewers of Network Nightly News is something like 52. Who is going to pay to advertise to a 52-year-old audience?

23.5 MILLION VIEWERS LAST WEEK 23.5M is about what--one out of nine adults? Amazing to us who were weaned on "the Huntley-Brinkley Report."
To: dynachrome
But 52-year-olds already know what they want. Advertisers want to reach people when they are still young and stupid.

It WAS hilarious, no? How many times did they formulate ways in which "Kerry could still win."
Schadenfreude.
