The media seems to love these high profile death watches - now the Pope

CNN is on in the other room and I'm too lazy to go and change it but all they are speaking of is Schiavo and the Pope. Now they have the death watch for him.

The media does a great jon promoting a "culture of life" don't they?

2. That's true

and the Pope's death does make a big news story, considering he's a spiritual leader for millions.

Just amuses me how they almost seem to love these death watches.

3. I think it's the nature of 24-hour news

these kind of protracted stories are perfect for the format.
