Thought it would be interesting to get a sense of how MSL is being covered in the popular media, particularly since the board's residents cover so many different cities and countries!

CNN covered the landing live, which I was pleased to see. NBC has also had some semi-regular coverage on the evening news for the last few days. The NBC Today Show this morning mentioned the rear hazcam anomaly and how the crazies on the internet are abuzz over it (also mentioned the likely true cause/s of the "blob").

I agree that's likely what the thinking is on the part of the producers of these lightweight pieces. But, IMHO, if you want Joe Public to keep from getting bored, play up the sense of wonder aspects, not the cute, smiling host/hostess aspect. Seems to me that Stu's outreach program proves that. (Not that we don't think you're cute and smiling, Stu... )
