Poor Americans. They gotta have news when they want it and not one second before. And they want news sites to not report the news.
Imagine 9/11 on tape delay.
I want it LIVE even if it on the other side of the world. I remember the 1996 tape delayed Atlanta Olympics. The excuse was that terrorists might try to do something spectacular on LIVE tv. Well, they did that on 9/11. The media covered it.
If you don’t wanna know that US women gymnasts win GOLD today, then don’t read news on a news discussion forum. :-)
And you are the type that opens presents well before Christmas morning, probably don't even bother to wrap them, tells the person you are giving a gift to what got them as they open the present.
I remember as a child about fifty years ago when the World Series was played, the games were all played in the afternoon. Kids would sneak transistor radios into school, and even some of the teachers were in on the fun. I guarantee you, if tv had taped delay at that time, nobody would have wanted to wait five hours to find out who won. Ditto for me. Taped delays especially don't make sense on weekends.
