Third Day of No News

Try to find any news around the Reagan coverage. I dare you.

Look at CNN, and at times today, you wouldn't think we're even at war. There's no mention of it. Or the economic crisis. Or the employment slump we're hardly out of.

NBC keeps running Special Reports updates. What are they going to say?

President Ronald Reagan is still dead.

There is something very wrong here. As I said, I understand paying tribute. I would understand it better if the sitting president somehow died. But turning this into a total media blitz is unfounded.

Note, too, that Bush will attend Reagan's funeral, which he had not done for any GI killed in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
