OP - you are so correct... the over the top coverage is CRAP... The young producers of the news - Fox and others WORRY way too much about what the other stations are doing... so they Copy Cat - then the other does a Copy Cat and on and on and on... totally silliness...
How about breaking in with coverage WHEN SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENS...? Oh that would take too much effort and some Cable Star would be offended and threaten to sue the cable channel for interrupting his/her program hour.
I got news for you juvenile Producers of Cable News Shows - WE DON’T WANT 24/7 coverage of every cough or utterance of anyone caught up in a tragic situation - NOT UNLESS IT IS A 9-11 equivalent event ... otherwise tell us the news - all the news - break in to cover essential aspects of a breaking situation - but STOP THE 24/7 non stop BORINGLY STUPID COVERAGE... Good Grief !!!!! The world will not stop spinning if we don’t see 22 hours coverage of the rescue capsule mechanism being pumped up and down .... GET A LIFE you silly juveniles ...
But if will for sure stop spinning if we miss Sean Hannity throwing a football or Bill O'Reilly being a pompous ass, It'll be especially tragic if we miss the late night reruns.
GET A LIFE you silly juveniles ...
Right back at you. Go watch a sunset or something.
