Washington, D.C.: I find it bizarre, depressing, and not just a little telling about the sorry state of American TV news that Steve Irwin led the NBC news last night. I know he's a high-profile guy, and I don't quibble with the story being included in the news, but come on. Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan... These are somehow less important than Irwin's death and examining the new threat of sting rays? Howard Kurtz: Two words: Labor Day. Look, I wouldn't have led with it -- and I wonder if Brian Williams would have if he hadn't had the day off-- but there was not a lot of hard news yesterday.
