I mean, serioulsy, they hype this up so much only to turn around and tell us for the next 20 years how irrelevant this guy is.Or how the Catholic Church hates gays, hates abortion and perpetuates AIDS by its stance on birth control. It's already started. They are 'disappointed' that the Church didn't elect someone who would change all of those things by early next week.

Its the perpetual question in today's journalism: should ratings drive content, or should content drive ratings?
