All over the internet, I am finding messages such as this one. ABC interrupted a children's program and tricked people into thinking that some major, world changing event had happened. What a horrible thing to do to viewers.

Was “Happy Valentines Day, Charlie Brown” an affiliate show or was it run across the network?

Yeah, unless it’s WWIII, such announcements can wait.

They could have waited until commercial time, and put in a 10-second blip “Singer and actress Whitney Houston has passed away. News at 10”.

My 11-year-old just said, “Well now she finally gets to dance with somebody....”

(we watched Whitney’s videos to show who she was)

Because ABC and the entire msm act like immature 14 year old girls who think the world revolves around them. It’s all about THEM! and breaking news FIRST rather than the viewers who keep them on the air and a paycheck in their pocket.

If you had been watching something rented on your DVD player you’d have never had to deal with, nor pay for, that interference...not to mention the financial benefits from cutting that cable and no longer supporting the enemy.

Al Sharpton has been all over the news today, but I haven’t seen Jesse Jackson yet. The scene isn’t complete until he shows up.

I was so annoyed last night by the cable news coverage. One would have thought a head of state had died instead of a self-destructive entertainer.

I am sorry they did that, but Fox News was the worst.....over 2 hours of talking about her. I mean really.....and today a lot of discussion on it. As far as ABC goes, they could have had a warning at the bottom of the tv mentioning it and talk about it at 1100 news. Same with Fox News, mention it and then go on. As critical news comes than mention it in two minute segments. They totally knocked all the politics off the tv for over two hours and that is a bit much. I feel for the family but it really was not that shocking to me. And even if I was a fan (I am not), I don’t think I would need that much news on her death. Just a quick snippet and go on. If it was the President than ok that is different.

They interrupted my Sunday morning cartoons in NYC when Marilyn Monroe died back in 1962. I woke up my mother because I didn’t know if this was somebody important she should know about.
