How Long Can The MSM Milk Gustav To Avoid Reporting

on the GOP fiasco? I've seen nothing but nonstop coverage of Gustav.

..and affecting millions of peoples' lives. Sheesh! :shrug:

Updates would be fine but this is ridiculous.

I can understand a lot of time being devoted to a major story like a hurricane. But the fact is, ALL the time, blanket coverage is devoted to one single story. It can be a moderate earthquake in California, where an entire afternoon has nothing but coverage of that one event. It can be about the death of one journalist who anchored Meet The Press, where hour after hour without the interruption of this coverage by any other news in the world occurs. I think the networks see what the other networks are covering and they end up all giving us the same news, fearing that the audience will change the channel. It ends up becoming horribly tedious, as talking heads run out of things to say and end up giving us meaningless details. This is not journalism and it's not news. Give a lot of attention to major stories, but don't pretend that it's the only news going on in the world. I don't think it has to do with political considerations. It's just the particular pathology of American news outlets.
