Other networks preferred to play the doom card over and over again.

That was 90% of the problem.

If you write an article that says, "There are problems,
but they are being addressed", then you get to write
one article.

If you write a doomsday article, then you get to write
the 15 followup articles.

Writers love to have more work.

Ironically, by writing about Y2K in 2010, he was doing
the same thing.
