NBC NIGHTLY NEWS
Reported on the story exactly FIFTEEN minutes into the broadcast....

I guess they didn't think it was an important story

2. Unless CBS did it in the first 2 minutes
they didn't even mention it. As much as I have carefully followed the death throws of our democracy over the past four years, I was still shocked.

4. Yep, CBS didn't even mention it.
Reminds me of the old saying, "there's no truth in the news, and no news in truth."

7. That saying referred to the Soviet paper, Pravda, which means "Truth."

3. I checked all of the networks about 5 minutes into...
their national broadcasts and NONE of them were covering it! It's all about the Tsunami. At this point, aside from donating money, I just don't think we can do all that much about it. It's just more "Oprah" news. HEY "NEWS" stations: Maybe repairing our broken electoral system is a little more important than spending another day rehashing the horrors of the tidal wave!

6. NBC
at least they spent a few minutes on it-but a little late in program.
