Nader Runs Again 

So I'm watching CNN to see Ralph Nader's announcement that he is running for President as an independent. About 2 minutes into it, CNN cuts the audio and starts talking about the ramifications of this for the other 2 parties. I flip the channel to MSNBC. Apparently they have a longer attention span and ran his speech for about 4 or 5 minutes, then they cut to their discussion about what this might mean for the Democrats and the Republicans. After some more frantic flipping I finally settled on C-Span 2 which of course covered his entire speech and the following question and answer period.

What a good example of major networks ADD* for anything remotely substantive. The only news worth watching these days are NWI's programming, and PBS's "News Hour With Jim Lehrer". Even then, my good people, go read for crissakes.
