Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I got a cat for all of the reasons, I suppose. There are too many of them out there that need homes. This one is just so much more evil than the last one. I waited a full year and a half after we lost Bogey so I wouldn't feel like I was trying to replace him.
We'll probably get another one when O's a little older and won't be so hard on a kitten.

First rule of journalism: If it bleeds, it leads.
Sadly, people tune in to the carnage.
Yes, but... surely networks could plan this such that only a handful of reporters covered it for all the affiliates. At some point other considerations really should take priority.

Only a very few local stations are actually owned/controlled by their affiliated network. The rest are independently run (but within the confines of their agreement with the network) and are under no obligations to exercise restraint. Especially when it comes to disasters of any kind.

No I mean NBC has reporters for its affiliates, CBS for its affiliates, etc...

But wouldn't airing a tape supplied by the network cost a hell of a lot less than sending one of their own?
See, it's my idealistic side that ends up making me such a cynic.
