Dave Zweifel: It's sad what passes for news these days

Published: September 20, 2006
Dave Zweifel is the editor of The Capital Times.

To prove a point, an Internet blog called Think Progress looked closely at the network newscasts the evening of Aug. 17th. That happened to be the day that U.S. District Court Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ruled that the Bush administration had blatantly violated the U.S. Constitution with its secret NSA domestic communications surveillance program.

It also happened to be the same day the announcement was made that Thailand had in its custody a man who claims to have murdered JonBenet Ramsey.

According to the blog, here's the score:

• NBC - 7 minutes, 39 seconds on the JonBenet story, 27 seconds on the judge's decision.

• CBS - 3 minutes, 23 seconds on the JonBenet story, 25 seconds on the decision.

• ABC - 4 minutes, 3 seconds on JonBenet, 2 minutes on the decision.
