Attention

It is unfortunate that many television viewers are more interested in watching stories informing us what Brad Pitt had for lunch today. Most people do not have the attention or interest to hear more than a 30 second story about Bush’s trip to Africa or real stories about the state of our economy. They pretend to be interested, but do not have the attention span to watch, listen, and learn.

I have a “Newshour” polo shirt that I received as a gift a few years ago. I am amazed at the positive comments I receive from doctors and other professionals. I often hear “that is my favorite program” or “that is the only news program I watch.”

For those who don’t watch enough PBS…it is spelled “Lehrer” and “Just like Sesame Street” is not a complete sentence.
