Yes, I know there are important things going on - Obama rejected public funding, allowing him to take full advantage of his proven fund-raising ability through millions of small donors on the internet (like myself). There's the ongoing debate - fight terror as a war, fight terror as a law enforcement matter (the war on terror sounds mostly like branding for news channel coverage - it's not a "real" war - who did we declare war on? who will we get to accept unconditional surrender? the war model doesn't really work except as propoganda). There's Michele's "make-over" and Cindy's cattiness.
Still and all, compared to the Obama-Hillary battle - I'm bored!
Oh yes - for all those that thought the coverage and compliments given to Tim Russert were excessive? Turn the channel or turn the TV off or just don't read those articles in newsprint. There are plenty of outlets for "real news" as you may style it - let those of us who want to grieve alongside the NBC family, do so.
