Top 10: Why Network News doesn't give science more air time

Number Ten: They are unable to locate file footage of the Big Bang. (Hard to believe an Internet search wouldn't work...)

Number Nine: They think that high-temperature superconductors are too hot to handle.

Number Eight: El Niño is covered by the weather department.

Number Seven: They already did the O.J. DNA story.

Number Six: They are unable to find information about semiconductors in the music section of the library.

Number Five: They are afraid of reporting on dark matter because they think it is contagious.

Number Four: They are waiting for cold fusion.

Number Three: They think that the greatest scientific achievement is Tang.

Number Two: They wouldn't know the superconducting supercollider from a hole in the ground.

And the number one reason why network news producers do not give science more air time: Scientists are from Mars . . . Journalists from Venus.
