I don't think the "Ratings are everything" mantra will fly any more
Many people, even ones on our side, dismiss the media's deterioration (e. g. coverin gthe Runaway Bride and Jacko ad nauseum) by saying, "They're just airing fluff because it sells". This is bullshit. If CNN would cover David Ray Griffin and the ensuing stories, they would pull in 10 times the ratings that the GA bride will.

They're not ratings-driven. They're Rove-driven.
