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 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:whip: 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. :whip: :whip:
Now my question is whether it differs in other countries, or is it just as bad? :conf: |
