Im not coldhearted, cruel or insensitive. But Id like to know what you think , not about me, but about how NEWS/Stations will interrupt normal tv broadcasting for non public emergency news.
Holland The story is http://www.digtriad.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=138736&catid=57 The situation was that Im sitting on my couch watching The Andy Griffith Show on WFMY here in Lexington NC and about 10 minutes in the show, WFMY interrupts the show at 5:40 pm to notify the public that a verdict has been reached in the killing of Winston Salems Police Seargant. A terrible terrible tradgedy and Im truly sympathetic toward all in involved, but couldnt WFMY have waited 20 minutes to air this at the 6 pm news ? What could I do " Mr TV viewer " with this news that I couldnt have done if I had to wait 20 minutes more. I dont understand it. They done this with a small airplane crash once. Cars crash all the time and people die here in the triad constantly but the news doesnt break tv broadcasting for that. TV Sensationalism is my answer. Wonder if the adminstrator will let this one slip through . Holland _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
