ABC has cut into Reagan's funeral.
ABC is the only network broadcast to do so.

ABC is the biggest whore of the Big Three networks.

Please comment.

2. No TV here - don't understand your post
Do you mean they've interrupted coverage of the funeral, or gone to covering the funeral?

7. I had it on for a few minutes
and it was total live helicopter coverage (on several channels) of the hearse carrying the body from the funeral home to the Reagan Library. It seemed to go on forever.

13. You guys are a lot stronger than I am.
I am watching "Harry Crumb" on Comedy Central. Hey! The first season of Reno 911 will be out on June 24! My goal is to not see any part of the coverage. Not even one black clad mourner. Wish me luck!

14. they are emulating Fox
I was watching the NBA game last night and was appalled at their fall lineup. I wish I had taken notes so I could remember the exact titles, but there was something called Wife Swap, something else where couple were separated and then shown videos of models trying to seduce their significant other (Ultimate Love Test?), and some other equally ridiculous sex-based drivel. The kind of trash that Fox puts out.
