11. Stunning how quickly

the recent past can be rewritten by a few hours of television. You think nothing can surprise you anymore, and whomp there it is.

4. We will see in a week where things stand, but if it turns out that there are very

few casualties, and Americans and allies are evacuated without too many issues, I wonder what kind of coverage the press will provide then?

14. Some will be demanding immediate resettlement here for every Afghan national forced to flee,

while others will be fearmongering about bringing terrorists into this country.

9. The oldest guiding principle of journalism: "If it bleeds, it leads."

Orderliness doesn't draw eyeballs and sell ads nearly as well as chaos.

10. I can't decide if the press is pathetic or pathologically

inept. Oh, well, I enjoy watching The Unforgotten much more. Intelligent, sensible people with a problem that requires some thought and knowledge before coming to a conclusion.

12. All three: pathetic, pathological, and inept. I am sure there are more adjectives

we could use to describe their utter unbalanced coverage.

[sprinkleeninow]

13. I vote for pathological. eom
