I noticed it as well. TWC has the same stuffed shirts as most of the networks, so go figure. Here's an interesting tidbit: the local AM conservative talk-radio station affiliated with the local TV network decided to combine the TV coverage with the radio format. So they showed the overnight host combined with the standard vapid blonde TV meatbag; the result: rave reviews.

It was a rare event where the talkshow gained massive support for no other reason than disseminating information and not fearing "political" or otherwise "offensive" calls. The overnight radio host handled it with aplomb while the TV gal was flustered.

Needless to say, the public called in the next day praising the combination and the radio guys while omitting the talking heads from the solution.

It's truly remarkable how the media elite, no matter where they live, have no clue how simple it is to make a difference. Just stick by your principles, answer questions, give out information, and the very least, give people a voice.

Meanwhile, over on National Public Radio, what were they talking about: the quagmire in Iraq. Naturally.

the quagmire in Iraq

I think we may be behind on that word; today I'm positive I heard a new "buzzword" that the liberals are using to describe the word........and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.....I heard it in three different reports and it was all about the Kennedy remarks.

It may have been "a brewing disaster" or something close to that, but it struck me right off that this is their new "talking point" and I made a mental note to see how many times I heard it on the weekend shows just to confirm to myself that they have moved on to the next number on their "We Want the Power Back and We'll say whatever it takes to get it back" agenda.

Here in DC both National Public Radio stations, WETA and WAMU (American University), had local coverage during the storm. WAMU, which is mostly talk shows anyway, had a lot more talking, and I thought it was about on a par with WMAL, which usually carries Rush and Hannity, but pre-empted both for local coverage, as well.

But then, I listen to NPR. My husband is the typical conservative, he can't stand to listen to liberals, but I listen to all points of view, and try to keep up with what everybody thinks.

Anyway, I flipped back and forth between WAMU and WMAL after we lost cable.
