it is absolutely maddening that CBS etc. haven't broken into programming.
If I was a network news exec, at the very least, this is worthy of crawls on the bottom of the screen like what CBS did when news of Princess Diana's wreck came across the wire.
I would be very tempted to break into programming for a special report though, quite frankly. This is not small news....it is huge even though it is far away.
Ain't it the truth. I wonder if we haven't become a little spoiled by the web? We get breaking news on the web sometimes hours ahead of the "old" media, but yet we wait for them to catch up to put the "official" stamp on it. Curious in a way. Seems we've grown accustomed to their face.
