I know it's popular in some circles to bash the media as unpatriotic, leftist, un-American, etc., but try this on for size:

Your daily paper and your daily TV news is just that: DAILY.

And Memorial Day is not until Monday (the observed day) or next Saturday (traditional). If you find no mention of MD activities in Monday's paper or coverage in Tuesday's, THEN you might have a case.

As for the weekend itself, with the weather as it is right now, probably a lot of outdoor holiday weekend activities for today, Sunday and Monday may just be cancelled.
