And there are three cable news networks to choose from, each with a different type of coverage. The media is playing its mediating role just right...
...might be more to the point to imagine that Gore or Bush was in the stands, standing beside the king. If that were the case, would Princess Al make a choice motivated by destructive ferocity of ego, or by self-sacrifice? How about Princess George...
