Sunday Morning News
Because RedState isn't posting tomorrow's schedule for the Sunday morning talking heads, I'll take it upon myself.
Face the Nation: Scheifer talks about Katrina and the Supreme Court nominations. Guests are LTG. Honore, Sen. Landrieu (D-LA), Sen. Collins (R-ME), and Jan Greenburg.
Fox News Sunday: Chris Wallace adds more to the Katrina tragedy with guests Sens. Landrieu and Vitter (R-LA). Mike Brown's replacement, Thad Allen, will be interviewed followed by their normal round table discussion.
Sunday Morning: The nation's oil supply and Katrina are discussed, 64 year anniversary of the Pentagon, four years after 9/11, FEMA's past endeavors, what the military is doing to help hurricane victims, and the history of Cajun.
This Week: More on Katrina and Stephanopoulos interviews Sen. Obama (D-IL)
Meet the Press: Russert grills Mayor Ray Nagin on Katrina's aftermath and more on the future of the Supreme Court.
--------------------------
It saddens me that only one of the four (Sunday Morning) will provide some focus on where we have come in the past four years. It is the anniversary of an attack on our nation. Time tomorrow should be set aside by news shows and citizens to mourn, remember, and celebrate the recovery of our nation.
UPDATE: I guess Mark over at Redstate got around to doing it, after all.

You say "talking head" as if it's a bad thing. I enjoy every minute of Tim Russert not allowing Chertoff to answer questions and having a heart-to-heart with Ray Nagin.
My main grief with this morning's shows (I don't watch Late Edition) was that only one (Sunday Morning) gave any time to the four year anniversary of 9/11/01. I understand current events are important, but not focusing on an event that has brought us to where we are today is only helping us to forget the atrocities of that day.
FEMA's response was very lacking, as was the President's appointment of Mike Brown. Coverage of current events is important to inform the electorate, but not allowing us to forget so that we may not relive our past is worth a few minutes of our morning four years later.
It's sad to say that I have little confidence in the electorate I fight for and one day hope to represent. It's even more depressing that those who choose who will make decisions and lead get their news and information from "Short Attention Span Theater." The media will never focus on the imporant matters that effect us globally or that don't have a snappy tagline.
At this point, I was going to go into all the ways the media lets its viewers down and is irresponsible to the American people, but I think I've made my point.
