I know that, but I like to have it on the national news, in case there is news... And I feel these stories should rightly be local stories, not national obsessions. All the channels to the same thing. I wish to voice my opinion on what I think is a bad use of airtime. You're free to disagree, and if you want to watch this stuff as national news you're in luck. When this one's solved they'll find another one to obsess on with even more lurid details.
well, i am not sure luck has anything to do with it, but you are right in that this is your thread and you have every right to rant into the wee hours of the morning...i just use the remote and really don't watch much, including the news; i like using that power on/off button--i'm an anachronism and a living one at that; i just read newspapers...as for television talking heads, i have found myself wondering if the program directors know anything else is happening in the world besides rape and murder and unused FEMA trailers
