Yes, but L.A. has all of the stuff that is causing our nation to become moronic, at best. L.A. is the birthplace of reality television, is it not? It is the home of Hollywood, is it not? It is right next to The OC, which has been the basis for several television shows featuring vain and materialistic characters. People here in PA wet their pants if they can't watch the next episode of "Who wants to marry a half-naked bipolar Viatnamese octogenarian millionaire?" Thanks to the writers' strike, many folks here on the East Coast have trouble conversing with one another. L.A. is the entertainment capital of the United States, whether we like it or not. If L.A. suddenly says that the History Channel, Discovery Channel, TLC, etc. are "hip" and "hot," then an intellectual craze sweeps over the nation. If they say reality television is trendy, then 300,000,000 folks become idiots.

SWB, you are OTM! You're gonna need more than Wall St. (nuff said), and this 'boss' crap? Funny stuff! Wall St. is a waiter in a restaurant telling you the specials of the day. Broadcasting news from around the world is tantamount to being a kid waving newpapers on the corner. Nothng more. Comes nowhere near being the leading world influence, reading teleprompters! How 'bout a new buzzworthy offering; The Scranton
