What does being white have to do with it? At his Christmas mass people of all races from all different nations are present. And Christianity is oen of the most popular religions in the nation!

And you didn't have to watch it. I'm sure your living in a place where various channels are available for viewing.

People have every right to be annoyed at the preemption (I too was annoyed when I heard UNTIL I heard about the white smoke and then I couldn't reach my 6ABC app quickly enough) and I understand after yesterday's completely unnecessary preemption, people might be punchy.

But just because there are a large number of people who couldn't care less about who the new Papal Overlord is, that doesn't mean it's not still epically historic. The last Pope elected from outside of Europe was sometime in the TENTH century. You can rag on Christianity and on Catholicism all you want (and believe me, I do plenty of it myself) and I don't think half an hour of follow-up with a bunch of jerks on ABC News was necessary, but I'm sorry, cutting in was the right thing to do.

I missed Benedict's election and even if I was at home yawning through Kannie/Molly's book party or laughing at AJ, Carly, and Todd (in a good way, I assure you), I wouldn't have minded one bit missing it to see Pope Francis's first appearance. GH is on five days a week. While a Conclave might not be as rare as it used to be, it's still right up there with historic events.

It's got nothing to do with a conspiracy. I just think it's a lot of antiquated presumption foisted on the public by a lot of over the hill network producers and I thought the coverage was overblown morning, noon and night. Particularly after Benedict, what a creep. That's all. Don't like it, don't read it.
