re: #218 sattv4u2

You’ll lose. I’m in the broadcast business. Theres not a satellite truck east of the Mississippi (and many west of it) nor ad hoc satellite space available for booking

We shall see! Regardless of how many Sat trucks are in play, we;re not talking about equipment, we’re talking about the hold over the country. I think it’s fundamentally impossible for one trial to hold the attention of the country the way OJ did. The news climate is different, our access to information is far more complete, television news does not have the hold over America like it did during OJ.

A decent chunk of my generation is Gitmo-ed out, we’re terrorist-ed out, we’re becoming increasingly cynical about news. These men are terrorists, not beloved celebrities. Everyone in the country knew who OJ was. The average man on the street cannot even name these terrorists.

So I’m going with OJ: way bigger circus, way more media staying power.
