mentioned this survey noting the most important story by far last week was the death of Anna Nicole Smith, at least in terms of air time. Forget the war in Iraq, forget Congress or the White House, forget Scooter Libby, forget the 2008 presidential campaign, even. Anna Nicole trumped them all.
In this survey, Smith came in third, but that was taken in the week when Smith died on the EIGHTH, not on the fourth.
Well, it was a ratings boost, no doubt of it. Frankly, many people will tune out other stories.
Kurtz mentioned that perhaps other people would tune out because of the obsession, but I don't think as many people would tune out as would tune it. Smith's case is so utterly bizarre, it's more fascinating than a train wreck.
