Let's face it. The days of Walter Cronkite and David & Brinkley are gone. Newscasts arent really about news anymore, are they. There really isnt anything resembling quality reporting anymore.

I do think that the NHC is not getting enough credit for their accuracy on this one.

Just remember, when you've had enough of the "hype", just press the OFF button and walk away. It will still be there when you decide you want some more.

MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News were live ALL DAY Saturday and Sunday, including all night Saturday Night. I didn't even bother with TWC...
