Who else has been watching the Military Channel the past three days?

Thanks to the wall to wall (read: constant) coverage of the VT shootings, I can no longer get news from a television news outlet. In fact, I really can't get anything else at all from the news outlets, because some "angle" has yet to be uncovered. Yes, of course, the VT shooting was sad, but do I need to hear about it all day, everyday? Does the Today Show really need to be on the VT campus, rounding up as many Va Tech students as possible to interview (they're shocked and horrified by the shootings, what a shock! Excellent reporting NBC)? Has the world stopped because some kid with a high school grudge decided to shoot up VT? Have the Iraqis started throwing flowers at our soldiers yet (not that you'd hear about it since Matt Lauer needs to find another VT student to interview or some other shrill needs to tell us how tragic this was (no kidding it was tragic, we don't need you to repeat it every 10 seconds). Why can't these people grieve without the news harping on them?

Yes, the military channel, Discovery, National Georgraphic and the Science Channel.



A break from VT would be okay by me.
