You guys are right. I shouldn't listen to them, especially when the data is available to any ole joe on the net. Problem is I don't have time while I'm working so I sit with the news on and listen/watch.

It's funny as hell... CNN is doing a 'special' at 5 tonight to show you the (real) news that's been going on (quoting them) "for the past 3 weeks while we've been covering Hurrican Rita and the events following Katrina."

Why haven't they been covering them all along? Do we have to know the windspeed every 2 minutes. This fecking storm is moving around 12 mph... it's like watching paint dry.
Eh you really haven't missed much..gas prices continue to rise....Haliburton got a few HUGE clean up contracts....

TWC also has a conflict of interest, IMO... more so than CNN.
