Wouldn't more of that kind of coverage be great? It doesn't seem like we get nearly as much in-car as we did in the 90's. I used to get up at 3am, brew coffee and wait, just to sit right smack in front of the tube for those laps. Some coverage has become as much about bubble advertisements and pit crews as the racing.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
