The question isn’t whether it is particularly important ... the question is whether there is anything else more important that must be covered at this very moment. 24-hour news networks have a lot of time to fill ... so they’ll seize on any remotely interesting breaking story that they can.
It isn’t as if they’re pre-empting coverage of anythign else worth watching. Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, and Family Feud reruns are likely worth pre-empting for Tiger Woods.
