so the weather now gets more time than the news on the morning shows [View All]

Usually don't watch the morning news shows but since the Enron revalation on CBS wanted to see if it got any coverage this morning on the other stations.
So sitting at the keyboard and the news starts at the top of the hour and no sooner than the tv gets full attention they are on the weather. Look at the clock, it's only a few minutes after the hour.
OK musta been daydreamin.
Now the next time around full attention from the start with stopwatch in hand.
NBSC Today show, Ann curry ? doing the honors, six stories in 1 minute 22 seconds, and that included some more garbage about the guy accused of killing his wife, yes hold the presses, man held for killing wife, this may change the path of civilization as we know for all time to come.
Anyway now to you Al Roker with the weather. When Al said back to you Ann he had consumed a minute 48 seconds. So the weather got nearly a third more time than all the news that's ok to expose the sheep to.
So destroying the enviorment, war in several places, leadership that has no clue and is killing two soldiers everyday, price of oil going up for no good reason, Enron corporation caught on tape discussing stealing money, yes important topics, but not as important as informing the sheep on that all important life and death decision about taking an umbrealla with them today.
This was the nBSc third hour, it will be interesting to time the " real news" tommorrow on the first hour, if the opportunity to leap off a tall building doesn't present itself in the mean time.
