1. The media only wakes up when something involves sex.

2. Good point. But they redeemed themselves; talking about
Woodward's book. All bad news for the repugs; I'll take it!

4. Was it clear that Foley is a replug?
Usually when there's bad news to report about a replug, they leave out party affiliation.

10. I believe their news division is good.
It's different than their entertainment division. Mostly it depends on the people--how much courage and integrity they have--and ABC has some good people: Charlie Gibson, Martha Raddatz, George Stephanapoulis, and others.

11. I used to watch CBS but since Bob's gone, and KO repeats so
much of what NBC does, this is the recourse. Prior to Bob, I used to watch Peter Jennings...
And yes, I think some of the journalists are good and evenhanded.

13. yes--same reason I tried them.
Don't want Katie, NBC is a repeat of KO. That's why I tried them--and have decided to stay for now.
