I just gave one example. But go ahead, criticize a news channel for covering actual NEWS instead of tabloid trash. I'm sure you know how to run a news network better than the professionals.

Still, think about it, you have these (in one sense) children (young correspondents) who only get air time during stories and not get to host programs, so why would they not take a change of hosting for a few hours! :) Rod, from your earlier post, most people may be asleep but there may still be that one person who isn’t sleeping and just decides, “what the hell, I’ll see what’s on FNC” and find out the news they didn’t find out earlier that evening.

EVERYONE on the West Coast is in bed with the TV off at midnight? And not EVERYONE gets out of bed at 6 am. I, for one, get out of bed between 4:45 and 5 am every day. Hospital emergency rooms are open all night last time I checked, and they have TVs there. Of course Rodrigo, maybe you should learn how to write in proper English before you start criticizing what a news channel did when a former President died. He's not just "a guy." Elected or not, he served our nation's highest office and he is owed respect and as Missy said, if they want to run live coverage and have the staff to do it then so be it. Really?

If a network wants to be live at 3 a.m. or whatever time, in case further details were learned or whatever, then let them! It sounds like they just wanted to be on the air to report on additional details or in case any pundits had any info. they'd like to offer up.

It's odd, but CNN and MSNBC actually have STRENGTH in their tape libraries in this situation. The Time & Again episode was fascinating -- better than the phoners and wallpaper b-roll on the other network.

They palyed the LKL Ford episode then replayed AC360 from when the news broke. I believe that’s what CNN did. They palyed the LKL Ford episode then replayed AC360 from when the news broke.

I think the coverage pretty much should have been over for all of them after 2 hours. Then they could have just repeated what was aired earlier. Yacking about something for hours on end I bet was pretty much boring. Would have loved to know what they reported on all night long.
