Amid all this politics--and zero international coverage--a couple of other stories surfaced. The report by CNBC's Phil LeBeau on NBC was serious. "Unbelievable!" he exclaimed as the automobile industry posted October sales data that were its weakest in more than 25 years. LeBeau consulted an unidentified Detroit executive: "The worst may not already have happened. We could see it even lower next month." The CBS story by Sandra Hughes was superficial, citing a study published in Pediatrics comparing the television viewing habits of teenagers whose sexual activity results in conception with those who do not make babies or have abortions. Teenagers who avoid pregnancy tend to watch sexy programing less often than their peers who are fecund. Hughes did not explain the mechanism whereby Sex & the City might deactivate one's contraception.
