    And the coupon means what to the story?
    I hate cable news.

    What if you want one with air-conditioning?

    No air conditioning, and the heater's a bitch.
     
  4. Some of the rooms now have a great view of the Strip

    For some reason, it was the lead story on NBC Nightly News.
    I think Brian Williams needs to not let the fact he's a volunteer firefighter cloud his judgment.

    So what's wrong with the hotel fire as a lead?

    A massive hotel on the Strip has a fire that force 3,000 rooms and the casino to evacuate? And that fire is 32 stories up? It's a hell of a story with great pictures, and I don't see anything that should automatically bump it tonight.

    No major injuries, just lots of flames.
    Given you have a big primary tomorrow and the ramifications of the tax rebate still rolling in, sorry, PC, this is not the lead story on a network newscast.
    I'd like to know what CBS and ABC did for placement.

    Here's the thing:

    The primary? The candidates gave speeches. I'm sure there's a new poll out, and it won't mean dick. Tomorrow they vote. Back to you, Katie.

    The tax rebate? Plan came out yesterday. Nothing actually happened today. At some point, they'll vote.

    Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, the Strip ground down to a complete standstill while a 32 story casino burned.

    I can guarantee you NBC had reporters on the primary and the rebate. But there was one story today that people would specifically turn on a TV newscast to see, and it's the hotel fire.
