By Brian 

It’s a pop quiz from the AP’s Frazier Moore:

“Many cable news programs went tabloid in a big way this summer, devoting hour after hour to stories about missing people. Now as fall approaches, we can expect those cable networks to:”


  • Maintain their current news ratio, which is roughly 10 percent of their coverage allotted to President Bush, the war on terrorism and the economy, and 90 percent to Natalee Holloway.



  • Refuse to cover anyone in the news who’s present and accounted for.



  • Dispatch Greta Van Susteren to look for NBC’s missing audience.
