Reply #13: I have a rather dismal view of the American Media

and their weird coverage of Events like this. I come away thinking that the media, apart from the American people, want a Monarchy here. They create royalty here. They did it for Teddy Kennedy's funeral, in a way.

The problem with this type of saturation coverage is that it strangles anything of meaning out of the actual event. It becomes about the coverage. This is the real reason why I try to watch these events on C-Span or the BBC or so forth. The event happens then, actual people have actual things to say and then the event ends.
