24-Hour News

Estimated reading time: 1 minute(s)

I was listening to the Sean Hannity show tonight as I cleaned the kitchen after a big ol’ party at the Campbell home, and I thought something he said was interesting. He was talking about the “mainstream press” coverage of the Iraq war and the formation of their constitution and said, “Can you imagine the 24-hour news cycle in 1787? [They would be saying] This is taking way too long!”

(OK, so that was a poor quote, but, you get the flavor)

It was an interesting commentary on our microwave popcorn, life-in-a-high-speed download second society. We want news, we want action, we want results… and we want them now!!!

Perhaps there are actually downsides to technological advances as well?
