48. STILL NOTHING as of now on either website.

Nov 2012

MSNBC is probably playing prison documentaries right now, and CNN TV is playing a rerun of Piers Morgan Tonight. I guess Thanksgiving weekend=too little staff at either channel to bring this breaking news.

CBSnews.com (Dallas was originally on CBS!) got nothing. Hagman's name doesn't appear on ABCNews.com or NYTimes.com right now. Only DallasNews.com (Dallas Morning News) put Hagman's face on the front page. Chron.com (Houston Chronicle) has a photo of Hagman under a larger box depicting the story of the I-10 crash. I guess right now the Texas media is making the biggest deal out of this story.

(BTW I have never seen an episode of Dallas...in fact I was born the year the show ended! That is how young I am, so I was not around during the "Who Shot JR" summer! And I don't have time right now to watch much TV anyway.)
