What does that say about the average FOX viewer? That would also mean that viewers of MSNBC and CNN cared more about wounded vets and less about Anna Nicole. But I <b>don't</b> think that's true that FOX's coverage is really indicative of what their viewers want, I think it's indicative of their desire to downplay stories that cast the current administration in a bad light, to the detriment of it's viewers who do not end up getting all the information they should. Just my opinion :) Well, if you’re judging the network’s coverage as a reflection of what the viewing public wants to see, then according that that link FOX viewers cared much more about Anna Nicole Smith than they cared about wounded soldiers being neglected—they cared about her 12x as much, in fact.

But my initial feeling was: I'd rather be hearing about their work, and what true hero's are, and not some celebrity whore who is worshipped as a hero. no good news from iraq? read my next post, oh mighty nay-sayer. soldier relevance - I guess I wasn’t polished on what that is.

Actually, my post doesn't say anything about how they should be reporting the deaths of American soldiers. So that was a bit out of scope. BUT - I would much rather be hearing about all the wonderful magical good things that ARE happening in Iraq, more than wackos from hollyweird. Dear Guav - I built a bridge, and I got over it.

I think she was a despicable useless slut, but I'm not shocked that her death was big news. When people die—especially celebrities—it makes the news. Get over it.
