i can understand why so many learned americans don't want coverage of international events if the cbs coverage of the earthquake in port-au-prince is anything to go by. it's not so much bad as just really annoying.
G'night U-Wen.
Judging by my experience with US news networks back in 2005, I can easily understand why people don't watch them at all. It didn't matter what they were reporting, it wasn't so much bad as just really annoying.
Though the coverage of some "runaway" bride from Georgia made me want to put a fist through every TV within a 100km radius.

generally it's okay, but how many times do you need to ask different interview subjects how you felt when the earthquake was hitting? it's an alright start to an interview, but you kind of need to move on from there.
"and how did you feel when you were trapped in a building that fell after the earthquake?"
"wtf how do you think i felt you fucktard!!"
"wtf how do you think i felt you fucktard!!"
Maybe I hit US news networks at a particularly bad time, but holy SHIT, they were making some serious glue out of beating those dead horses. I spent a day watching little else in Boston when the weather was too shit to really want to leave the hotel, and I'm pretty sure they ran two stories in that entire time - the runaway bride and "HEY LOOK AT THIS NASTY WEATHER WE GOT HERE!!!"
I also had the lamest pizza I've had in my life that night. Not bad, just ... lame.
sadly, that's pretty much how the news is when there's any huge story. they turn into fucking psychologists wanting to know how everything made them feel. who fucking cares!
oh, and i hated that runaway bride story. she was fugly and i don't give a shit about her or the guy she jilted.
and finally, the morning news here only talked about the weather the day this "huge" snowstorm hit. i'm serious, nothing but weather. aside from that, i can tolerate the local news much better than national shit. the local news still covered the earthquake, but since they were fitting more shit into the timeslot, there was no time to ask any of those dumb questions.
Hey Australians, and Ian (are there any other foreign cricket fans in the Superthread?): Indian threat to cricketers
I just ... don't know what to say to this.

Honestly, I'm not sure the commercial Aussie networks are that different, it's just at least they aren't fucking 24/7.
The "runaway" bride story was so indescribably stupid. How was it news?! Let alone non-stop every-fucking-angle-possible-and-then-some news? The mind boggles. I can't fathom anybody giving two hoots.
I just couldn't win on this particular day in Boston though. The national networks seemed to be 70/30 split between runaway bride and batshit New England weather, while the local networks were 30/70 split between runaway bride and batshit New England weather! I think I ended up reading some book on a 1930s famine in the USSR instead.
