Why?

I forgot to mention this in my last post but there seems to be a new "media disease". Case in point, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show spoke to Rudy Giuliani and Wesley Clark following the first Presidential Debate. It was a live shot from Coral Gables, Florida. Behind Giuliani and Clark you could see young people milling about and dialing their cell phones. If they reached someone, they'd look at the camera and either wave or make "born to hand jive" motions at the camera. I realize that live TV is just that and a lot of things can happen. However, are people such media whores that they have to phone home when they're near a camera? Reality TV has done us in. Anything for airtime!
