And it's pretty easy to assume, that if your daughter no longer owns a portable AM radio, chances are pretty good that members of a terrorist group like Hamas and the hostages they've taken, aren't sitting underground listening to a portable radio.
In fact, I saw last evening on BBC America interviewing one of the released Israeli hostages who was held captive for something like thirty six days. One of the questions asked was whether they had any sense of what was going on above ground via newscasts, etc. The woman said they were locked in an isolated cold tunnel space with only mattresses and blankets to sit on. They passed the time telling stories and talking about what they would do if released. In other words; no radio or TV.
