1. That is extreme; I think we should all e-mail CNN.

[frank frankly]

2. "its the little things"

3. I mean Gorbachev at a coffin

That's an event you just got to carry live.

An interview with the next leader of the free world, whatever. This is a news station after all.

4. That's over the line!!!

The Liberal Media MY ASS DAMN IT!!!

I bet they wouldn't cut off a Bushler ad!

:grr:

5. Name another world leader. . .

more tied with Reagan's terms in office or more responsible for whatever success Reagan's Administration can claim on the world stage.

Mikhail Gorbachev was only at the bier less than a minute (I caught it while channel surfing; one of the few images I've watched of the Reagasm, it was touching and good to see Gorbachev looking so well).

That a news station would switch from whatever it was broadcasting to cover this event is entirely in line with what I expect from a news broadcast. That a Kerry ad was on at that moment was but a quirk of timing. That his ad was cut short, however, is understandable. I'm sure the Arbitron people (or whichever group is tracking Kerry's ads) will assure he gets credit for the unplayed ad.

6. He's ads are boring anyway. Kerry needs some good ads.

7. Hope they get a free spot.....in fact, they should demand it!
