You’re becoming a one-note johnny.
You forgot the Michael Jackson funeral pageant.
And the Natallee Holloway disapearence.
And the OJ Simpson trial.
Next, we’ll learn from Greta if one of the rescue vehicles is a white Bronco.
As you can see, I hold Faux News in slight contempt.
9/11 had me up for 28 hours
I’m surprised they aren’t claiming to have gained this technology through Michael Jackson’s prior use of oxygen chambers.
There's other channels?
/(fanatic political junkie mode)
I know you do FRiend, but it is much better than the alphabet channels, barely!
Politicians are the same everywhere;)
The live coverage is because there are 33 separate rescues. Each with as much potential for problems (disaster) as the first. Each trip of the capsule has its own dangers. So they will cover until they are all out including the rescue workers.
The problem is the accessories, docs talking about PTSD, etc. And bit too much talking form the anchors.
Yes, some of us are. While it’s touching, it’s also boring. I’d rather watch Morris, Rove, and Luntz breaking down polls. Then again, I’m a political science student who is obsessed with that sort of thing.
It’s appropriate...
This is something never before done in the history of the world, and it’s an amazing technological feat.
Never mind the back story.
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 ...
Conservative minds can waddle through the muck of TV and still enjoy it, just sayin...
It was the best news I saw today. Turn the Chanel to Nancy Grace if you don’t like it.
Killed the canary
I am enjoying the coverage as long as the capsule doesn’t emerge from the depths and Whorealdo Rivera pops out. ;^)
No commercials at all either, so that’s a plus too. I don’t know if that’s beacuse I’m watching from Costa Rica... are you guys getting any commercials in the US?
You need a DVR or TIVO, like me!..:=)
Who cares about Chilean miners? Not me. Our own nation is going down the tubes and that affects more people than that incident. I really didn’t care if they lived or died. I’m indifferent to it. If they were Americans, my attitude would have been different. We have our own stuff to worry about.
