Default Another Pre-empted Saturday Night
I don't get it. It looks like tonight's television schedule will be pre-empted by the hurricane and another shooting in Texas. Who wants to watch non-stop news coverage of these events all night long? No Watters World or Greg Gutfeld again. Why?

Watch some Laurel and Hardy for your fix.

That is only a good suggestion for those...who prefer non-fiction.

Interesting. I thought this thread was about television and why the news media will often cancel an entire evening of scheduled programming to spend hours speculating about events they no very little about, and repeat the same videos over and over again. Why not just report on the new stuff as they learn it?

Greg Gutfield was on. Don't know about Watters, don't watch him. These news channels do nothing but back to back repeating of the news stories like a loop. You don't learn anything new for hours on end.

Cut the cord and stream what you want to watch. No commercials, no set time to watch a show. We watch what we want when we want and don't have to deal with commercials.

I watch Pennsylvania news on my spectrum app. Very little if anything about the hurricane.

They love to shove whatever news they feel is important to them.
