One thing that caught my attention this week in the news media was the ridiculous snow coverage the local stations had. NBC, FOX, ABC and CBS all had round the clock coverage, even during primtime on Friday night.
Yes, it was an epic snowstorm, but do we really need them updating their estimates every 5 minutes, with video of snow falling, or people getting stuck in the snow, or snow plow drivers? Friday night, I am snowed in, I can’t go out and hang out with friends. I want to watch the primtime television, such as “Numb3rs” on CBS, but they moved all primetime shows to the middle of the night to continue with snow coverage.
I think it was a poor call by the news media outlets to do this.
