Last night I heard Oprah saying the war in Afghanistan had very little impact on
her because there was little to remind her it was going on.

Anyone?

Anybody that watches (or can STAND to watch) Oprah has problems.......

I keep telling my wife that, but she doesn't listen to me.

Besides, that wasn't the point. (As you well know.)

My guess:

News sells.... bad news sells good. When the troop casualties were
increasing, it was salable news. Now that they have dropped
significantly, it isn't the moneymaker it was... and the supply has
diminished...

..... yes, it is macabre and disgusting... but that is what keeps a
news corporation in the black....
