Remember when Tim Russert died and we had a week of apotheosis? No better example of the fact that they think they are The Story. Meanwhile the real news goes ignored.

American television has become truly unwatchable unless one is on a heaping dose of some kind of ADD medicine. The number of commercial breaks and the ferocity of sensual attack by each commercial trying to out yell the next feels assaultive to me. And as you and Doonesbury point out, that fewer actual reports are squeezed in between all the self promotion, to keep the costs of actually having to produce news down, means there is no meat on dem news bones by the time you even do get to 'em!
The beauty displayed in your photos of the road trip to the coast and the visited carnival celebrations reminds me of how truly beautiful "god's" world is. "Kill your TV!", I have, but find myself in hotel rooms enough to witness the travesty.
Sheesh.
