Re:Captain Obvious Strikes Again… (Score 1)

Something I've been wondering about lately - it seems that people out there *do* care about the election, it's just that we don't hear about them (and especially don't see them!) on the nightly news. I've heard that half a million people were in NYC peacefully protesting the Republican convention, complete with flag-draped coffins being paraded down the street. Curious to see how this was being covered, I turn on the TV, to find coverage instead of the coctail parties in NYC, and which ones the Bush twins are planning to attend, with 4 minutes of red carpet footage of the two smiling and waving in cute little outfits. This wasn't on E - this was MSNBC! No mention whatsoever of the protest - instead, the on-site reported discusses, seriously, with the anchorwoman how to get into the best parties. Holy tamole!
