You know, as brain damaged as I think this "war" is, I do understand the need for coverage as events warrant. Note the key phrase, there: as events warrant. But they're playing the same damn footage and recycling the same damn talking heads they've been shoving down our throats all day.

Get the fuck off my tv screen, you gibbering idiots!

In this case I agree with you. And it is sadly the case when ever something of major importance happens. Perhaps if the 3 major networks could get together and on a rotating basis provide *wall to wall coverage* one at a time. (Hey ABC is covering the ___ it must be Monday!).

And there are any number of cable news stations that can do as they see fit. But you are right, seeing the same footage over and over again numbs the mind faster than a Unix manual being read at bedtime.
