so the obvious reaction by the media should be to divide their newscasts into quarters (for example) and cover each important story for 15 minutes. Times and order could be adjusted for breaking news, etc. But this complete capitulation to nothing but war coverage, every day, all the time, is playing into his hands. They did the same thing with dubya and I have no hope that they will do anything differently this time around. In fact, they will probably be worse.
