Some of our employees went to deliver all the presents we bought for the kids today and they were supposed to do a bit on it on the 4 o'clock news but we got cut because apparently it was much more important to spend the entire hour making us all afraid of the impending weather. I can't imagine it was supposed to be anything more than a 30 second blurb at the end, but even 30 seconds is precious in the media's battle to make us afraid of everything. I end up shaking my head sadly every time I watch the news now.
