LOL My daughter texted me about Osama Bin Laden so I...

turned on CNN to get the news. It was Dr. Drew on, about the supposed epidemic of teachers sexually abusing students. That of course is a very real problem that must be dealt with. Whether it is epidemic in proportions I do not know. But if you watched Dr. Drew, you might have noticed that he managed to evade a related issue that was raised as well - false accusations of abuse against teachers. This, I suspect, is far more common while it in no way excuses teachers of abuse. You could so clearly see Dr. Drew moving the issue raised by an attorney (false accusations and the presumption of innnocence before guilt) in another direction, the pre-planned direction of CNN.

The LOL is because I had to find C-Span to get the news. From Al Jazeera.

I don't get MSNBC.

In fairness, the CNN piece was a re-run.

1. I don't think CNN has taff on Sunday nights to handle any breaking story

3. Wolf Blizter, John King, and others were covering it. n/t

2. CNN has been covering the BreakingNews/Osama story for 2 1/2 hours now.

CNN covered the story from the beginning.

4. Dr. Drew is on HLN right now, not CNN

CNN has been covering the "breaking news" since about a quarter after ten.

Hadn't had the TV on for hours.

I should be more careful.
