"Somehow, I don't think CNN et al will grasp the fact that the Ecumenical Patriarch is visiting the States is a big event."

I agree. But the article states:

"We expect to reach 177 countries, with 360 to 400 million viewers,"

That is why I've tried to generate some interest here at FR. This is a big deal and nobody is covering it. I'm amazed at the lack of coverage by the press.

I started a new thread on this with a new article in News.
