Yes, because I was watching baseball while those shows were supposed to be originally on and wanted to watch when they reaired them later in the evening. I’m glad the miners were saved, but beyond that, it does very little for me. When I turn to cable news, I want a discussion and analysis of the issues, not a human interest story.
In a SHTF scenario what has been on the news tonight in the way of discussions by experts could be good knowledge to know.. Another night of Fred, Charlie, Bill, Sean, and whoever will be much the same as it has been the last two years. Just like a soap opera you miss nothing missing a day of talking heads.
Where I live in a SHTF scenario an abandoned mine or cave might be where I would head too for immediate safety. It's good to have some basic understanding of it. I have had training in dealing with monitoring explosive & deadly gasses in confined spaces and I still learned more tonight watching the rescue.
Survival in any emergency depends mostly on knowledge. Tonight was far more educational than another night of rehashed 1000 times over debates and opinions of the DC establishment beltway talking head panels.
I can watch the news and know where someone stands and check their voting records etc. I don't need a talking head to think for me.
