Irony alert

So on C-SPAN I was watching a rousing speech by Tammy Duckworth connecting Steven Spielberg's excellent film about veterans to the policy options supported by John McCain and Barack Obama.

I flipped over to CNN, curious to see what they covered. A brief review of the DVR's recording showed that they did show the video, but not Duckworth's speech.

The irony? The caption on the screen when I flipped over to CNN was "What issues are being ignored?" Maybe a better caption would have been: "Who is ignoring the issues?"
