The Importance of Cable TV

Consider, that without Cable TV, Americans would have had to have waited for the evening news, or perhaps even the following morning's news shows to learn all about the death of Anna Nicole Smith. And since mornings are busy, that would hardly allow for the kinds of in-depth coverage that only 24/7 cable-news outlets can provide. The next time I hear some whiny media-professor-types bemoaning the degrading influence cable TV has had on the news cycle, I'll remember this and smile smugly at the fool's cluelessness.
