Priorities

It's very interesting to see CNN's priorities when it comes to news coverage. This morning, they were covering Dick Gephardt's announcement that he was running for President . . .

Then they cut away from that to cover Tom Ridge's statement on the terror threat status . . .

Then they cut away from that to cover the rescue of a dog stranded on an ice floe on the Passaic River in New Jersey.

The dog having been rescued, they have returned to Tom Ridge.


Update (11:02 AM): They have just cut back to the dog. Apparently he has been wrapped in a blanket.
