Quite, nor even the election. I think Doug's into selective listening again, a bit like a dog that hears things like "food" and "walk" quite readily but goes very deaf when other less pleasant or desired things are mentioned. I think there's a term to describe such reactionary behaviour, Pavlovian is it?

Whenever I hear the word 'Sports' on a news programme I rush to the nearest channel changer. I also have a similarly conditioned response on other programmes to such words as 'Jesus', 'Queen', 'Democracy' and so on. That way I can enjoy one of my few media freedoms of choice. Unfortunately though, on occasions, most of the media decides to cover the same thing at the same time at excruciating length, to the exclusion of all else, such as a general election. Then I have little choice except to deprive myself almost completely of the media. I hope this clarifies it for you. -- UK Radical Campaigns http://www.zing.icom43.net One man's democracy is another man's oligarchy.
