Ralph's side of the island.
Politics TV (CNN, MSNBC and Fox) barely mentioned his passing! What is wrong with their program directors?

Seems they only break from 24/7 politics now for hours of live coverage of a big enough tragedy. A bridge collapsed in FL this morning and there are 15-20 pancaked cars underneath with certain fatalities in the vehicles.


The Science Channel, on the other hand had Hawking programing and quotes for ~24 hours. They only switched to robot battles late last night. :Thumbs:

The “news” has become so disappointing. I once liked to watch and read news. These days if I read news it’s from a non-US source.
