I'm turning into Cafferty

I'm not too enthusiastic about my crotchety old man side, but sometimes when he makes a point, you just have to be crotchety.
In the first six months of the year, the media devoted 39 minutes/week to Iraq coverage. Since July 12, they have devoted just 13 minutes/week. Additionally, in the last seven weeks, the media spent 510 minutes covering the Israel-Hezbollah conflict and just 94 minutes on Iraq.

  • Crotchety is good. Plus, you get to pass right through midlife crisis and proceed directly to old coot.

  • Crotchety does add texture, but everybody groans when they realize you're coming for Christmas.

  • Hah!

    You're right. But you gotta complain about it, and tell stories of how things used to be.
