Excellent questions, Michael. Perhaps all the network bigwigs are on vacation, huh? Oh, I know, they're probably playing a few rounds of golf with Slick. After all, the network folks are obliged to suck up to the government honchos to secure all those big-money contracts for their parent companies. Besides, they like his politics. And they wallow in his incompetence and corruption... because, for now, it increases their audience and market share. But, the networks are slowly cutting their own throats. They are beginning to bleed. They appear to be addicted to anti-coagulant medication. So, I will enjoy watching them struggle to survive when more and more of the masses realize what they have been feeding us for so many years. Regards, Jim

Here's another nail, Michael... Jim --------------------------------- THE WASHINGTON TIMES washtimes.com 5am -- April 7, 1999 Inside Politics News and political dispatches from around the nation By Greg Pierce Not a syllable "On Monday, only CNN, which gave the story 29 seconds on 'The World Today,' considered newsworthy Sunday's Los Angeles Times scoop about how Johnny Chung told a federal grand jury that in 1996 the chief of military intelligence for China gave him $300,000 to donate to the Democratic National Committee to help re-elect Bill Clinton," the Media Research Center reports. "Not a syllable about the revelation aired on the broadcast networks Monday morning or evening nor, surprisingly, on the Fox News Channel's 'Special Report' with Brit Hume or 'Fox Report' Monday night, though it should be noted FNC has done quite a bit on this general subject over the past year. Not even the intriguing news about how the FBI thought a 'hit squad' may have been sent from China to silence Chung interested the networks," the MRC said. "The broadcast networks cannot claim Kosovo war coverage consumed all their time as the morning and evening shows found time for stories on topics such as a sinking freeway, controversy over FDA approval of a drug to prevent breast cancer, luggage theft, how many hot dogs baseball fans will consume this season, and the White House Easter Egg Roll."
