Exactly. I think people should cool it, be calm about the coverage. I don't profess to be an expert by any means, but I have been around people in the news business. The on-scene media right now is shooting footage, doing interviews, and is on-hand for other developments as the day progresses. They then have to go through all what they've been gathering and make it into a viewable package, which can take a fair amount of work and time to do in itself. Then the networks are (competitively) going to commence running the story on their main newscasts, possibly throughout the rest of the weekend. Coverage by local stations is probably going to surpass that of the national level, so it'd be good to keep an eye on what they may post on the 'net later.

Thank you Lapsus - that is kind of what I have been thinking as well...besides, I really wouldn't expect to see much until this evening.

You're absolutely right about most of the newspeople. They're gathering their footage to file their stories later in the day for the newscasts, especially if they're from local stations.

But I think FNC could be doing a better job with their resources for live feeds.

Excellent observations. Thanks.

Now that I've had time to think about it, I think I'd rather have an accurate story carefully constructed than a lot of random nonsense that doesn't give a complete picture of what is going on, and uses old footage from the Sheehan camp because the new footage hasn't been edited yet.

Fair enough.

I think you make a very good point, in fact if there was live coverage right now who would see it anyway, a relative SMALL number of folks are watching anything but sports on Saturday afternoon, let's see if it makes the evening MSM newz.

"I know... I know that [........] Camp Casey is going to end the war in Iraq"
 
 
Thank you CNN </sarc>

I suspect a big report tomorrow morning on F& F. If not, I will be sorely disappointed then.
