You're not implying that commercial television is interested in journalism,
surely?
Also, anyone relying on Channel 9 for news about Code Red should remember
that ninemsn is a joint venture with Microsoft. Not that I'm implying this
would affect the news judgement of a television news editor. No way.

Fighter pilots hated to declare an emergency, because it triggered a complex
and very public set of events back at the field. This reluctance would drive
flight controllers crazy. They would see a ship beginning to drift off the
radar, and know the pilot was probably struggling with engine failure at low
altitude. "Longstick, do you want to declare an emergency?" This would rouse
him. "Negative, Longstick is not declaring an emergency." Kaboom. Adapted
