NEW YORK - Nickelodeon TV, the children’s network, is getting ready to cover its first presidential inauguration.
Young reporters Lily Collins, rocker Phil Collins’ daughter, and J.J. (Nick would not release his last name) will be in Washington on Jan. 20 to show Barack Obama’s inauguration from a pint-sized perspective.
Throughout the presidential campaign, Nickelodeon found that interest among its young viewers matched that of the adults. Nick’s own online “election” had 2.2 million children voting, with kids supporting Obama over John McCain (51 percent to 49 percent) in a closer margin than the real election.

My cousin didn't want Obama to be President because he would change time spent at school. Ha.
This is smart move to indoctrinate children at an early age to care about a system that never, no matter who is in office, totally cared about the people. Of course I'm talking about 1955 to today.

This is cool. Does anyone else remember Nick News? When I was a kid, I always tuned into that after Rugrats. To do this, it's sort of bringing it back and getting kids interested in more than just cartoons and toys. It's good to start early. With Nick News, I had the chance to and look at me now. All Current-y and stuff!

I'm sorry to say,something really doesn't feel right to me. Maybe its the fact that some Nickelodeon star is going to be saying crap like "I'm so excited" *jumps up and down* "Do you like my shoes?"
Either give it to them straight or not. Don't dumb it down.
