And We Wonder Why No One Knows Anything!

Apparently the network television majority decided pop culture was more important than what's going on with our nation and the world.

Fox, NBC and CBS all cut away from President Bush's press conference last night before it ended. After all, the public's thirst for Paris Hilton, Donald Trump and the Survivor bunch must be appeased at all costs!

I myself, sadly, didn't see the press conference...but not because something better was on. With my long commute, I don't get home until after 7...then there's dinner and the kitchen to clean...and I had to help my youngest with her homework. So it was another "no TV night" for me last night. I'll be looking for a transcript online later.

To their credit, ABC and PBS stuck with the president to the end...and I would assume that the whole thing was shown on FOX News and CNN (correct me if I'm wrong).

Maybe if Bush would go around saying things like, "That's so hot," or, "You're fired!" or, "The tribal council has spoken," while dressed like a gangsta rapper, the other networks would think twice before cutting his press conference off at the pass.
