i peronally hate it. i dont understand how they can spend sooooooooooo much time just on one story?

example: anna nicole smith, that radio guy, VT...
i mean yes, they are stories, but i dont need ALL DAY coverage of the same shit in 5 news channels.

it gets me irritaded, so does anyone enjoy the full time coverage? i mean, i cant think of anyone who would... so why do they do it there are other news ffs.

There was a great article in the NY Times about this yesterday.

Basically, it just said that the American public response en mass is utterly predictable when it comes to big/tragic news stories, and elaborated on the inevitable cycle of events/response/news that follows something like what happened on Monday.

It was pretty spot on.

If you kept up-to-date on the VT thread that day, you'd know why I hated the coverage. I seriously despise mass media.

It is like rubbernecking a bad car accident. Why do people do it?

Same thing with media, the public just keep watching.

Over all I think the media coverage in the U.S. is done in a poor manner.


Now my question is whether it differs in other countries, or is it just as bad?
