The President of Big Long Now announced this afternoon that he is banning the election coverage of the United States Presidential Election on news networks in the nation, but not those covered on international news stations available on [Big Long Now's] cable networks.

"I have recieved hundreds of thousands of letters over the last six months containing this nation's annoyance with the coverage of the United States election on news networks in this nation, and I cannot help but agree with them. If it doesn't involve us, then where is the point in providing coverage of it?" His announcement read, also saying that the U.S. election is, "an oppritunity to send out a commercial which does nothing but throw a childish collection of insults at their opponent."

The election coverage ban is set to expire in 2005.

However, on an interesting note of this story, he did answer a question in the announcement that many citizens had about which United States canidate he preferred, to which he remarked, "Let's elect the ghost of Ronald Reagan, at least he won't have the capability of remembering that he wanted to go to war a few minutes before."

While it's certainly up to the government of Big Long Now how they want to run their nation, the Eternal Noldorin Empire of Menelmacar remains puzzled as to how there is coverage at all of elections in a nation-state that ceased to exist a long time ago.
