...more insidious defense, some would suggest that the war's irrelevance to the average American justifies the limited coverage. However, most people attach relevance to particular new items only if a Network tells them it's important: if a piece of news is not the top story on the evening news, it must not be terribly important. A poll of "informed" Americans would probably find last month's most important story involved the Libyan in London.

We suggest they sink University Hall, creating an underground interrogation center, concealed by a pile of corpses where the building once stood. Dean Epps could really be let loose in the underground as the Queen Bee of a swarm of the little stingers, directing them in defecation flights and pelting recalcitrant students with...
