Bridge collapses in Minneapolis... journalists scramble to collect usual quotes

[Alex]

Here's the thing about the inane continuous coverage:

It is great if you don't just sit and watch it for hours on end. I didn't hear about the story until about 3 hours after it happened. So I went and watched CNN, MSNBC, and Fox for about 20 minutes knew what the situation was then stopped watching.

It is kind of like Headline News used to be but for breaking news and you'd not complain that Headline News repeats itself every 30 minutes (well, now they hardly even get around to the news but that is a different thing). It will be really inane tomorrow.
