2. CBS on WMDs

"Bush tried to put his best spin on the bad news from David Kay"

Showing numerous clips of Bush Officials talking about how Saddam was seeking Nukes. Yet, Kay found nothing.

Now the mobile labs, Kay says he doesn't know what they air. The military says they were for helium

3. ABC on WMD's

The report is a far cry from the PreWar hype.

Shows a clip of Rummy saying that "we know where the WMDs are. There in and around Tikrit and Baghdad"

4. Very nice but

6. everything newsworthy would be in 'media'

8. No one would read it

More people read GD, and few venture to the lower levels of DU.

9. People 'bump into' GD from the Latest page

because everything is dumped there.

No doubt we are having a very good week, but GD is normally a PIT. Good stuff gets buried too quickly-- the attention span is terrible, and most replies are nonsense wisecrackers because they can't think of anything better to say while they keep the threads on top. Not only that, it blows a gasket every month or so when the admins have to fix it and scads of conversations are interrupted.

I don't like to see any part of DU turn into a waste.

This post seems to be about media behavior.

I'll stop grumbling now.
