　　段子：

　　在这期间，人们一觉醒来，便想知道——也不得不知道——今天又有多少人在战争中阵亡，美英联军离巴格达还有多少公里，萨达姆是不是已经被炸死，好像全世界在为我们放着哨。我们不再满足“TNT”（Today News Today——今日消息今日报道），而是“NNN”（Now News Now——现场消息现在报道）。很难说是人们对战争的关注激发了电视机构的热情，还是直播刺激了人们对战争的关注，但不管怎么说，直播这一现代传播手段，几乎可以说是传媒满足人类攫取信息无限欲望的最高、也是最完美的形式。

　　译文：

　　recently， people attached unprecedented attention to the Iraq war——they wanted to and had to know the new causalities in the war， the distance left between the US and British coalition army， whether Saddam is still alive. It seemed that the whole world were there on watch for us. We chose NNN instead TNT in our news-hunting. It is quite hard to say it is the concerns of people for war that evoked the enthusiasm of the television industry or it is the live reports stimulated peoples interests to war. Anyway， live broadcasting， a modern transmission way， offers the best and nearly perfect means satisfying peoples infinite desire for more information.
