24-Hour News
I've watched a lot of news on the war already. It seems lame to hear the same
thing over and over, but I do appreciate being able to get caught up on the news
at any time of day. What I can't take is the little strip of headlines running
on the bottom of the screen. Most of the things they say are trite and out of
context. President Bush said we will accept no outcome but victory. In reply to
that, Robbie pointed out that it's pretty hard to deny defeat, regardless of
what you're willing to accept. I have observed a few interesting things though.
For instance, Dan Rather favorably quoted Stonewall Jackson last night. I have
also learned that it's possible to take six minutes of news and cram it into two
hours.
