What would the media have done . . .

[demon67]

if Reagan had died the same week as the Democratic National Convention? How would they have split coverage? Any guesses?

1. split? how naive.

2. I teach a social work class....

And we got off topic tonight discussing how the coverage would have been different for Dem presidents such as Carter or Clinton. Wonder if they would get the obsessive coverage that Ron got. We said no.

3. Convention? What convention?

We would probably have had to cancel it or not be covered. We lucked out on the timing. At least it didn't come then or during the opening of Moore's movie or President Clinton's book. Maybe they are saving something though. They could take OBL off ice at the end of July.
