What if a 24-hour news network devoted a proportional amount of its programming day to reporting on things that kill the most Americans each year?
During that 24-hour period, we'd see:
Nearly 7 hours of reports about heart disease, obesity, and fast food 5 1/2 hours of reports on cancer and tobacco 1 1/2 hours of reports about strokes 1 hour, 40 minutes on lung diseases, the flu (*not* Bird Flu, just the regular garden variety), and pneumonia About 40 minutes on diabetes 35 minutes of reporting on Alzheimer's Disease 30 minutes on car accidents About 20 minutes devoted to falls and poisonings and other household accidents About 20 minutes of reports about suicides About 10 minutes of reports about murders 2 1/2 minutes on drownings 2 1/2 minutes about fires 60 seconds about train and bus wrecks 30 seconds about accidental gun deaths 1 second of reporting about terrorism, both domestic and international Not even a single second about plane crashes
