Friday, August 15, 2003 :::
If you visit The Corner of last night and this morning, you'll find a lot of discussion about whether there was media over-kill on the blackout. I'm going to take the side that there was.
Some readers wrote K-Lo saying that it's a NorthEast thing. While the news often displays a New York bias, I do think this was the biggest story of the evening, and I suspect there would have been media over-kill if the black-out had happened elsewhere. My objection is that they spent time repeating themselves, and interrupted programming to show interviews with "men on the street." Later in the evening, I spent some time with the Fox News Channel, and I can't complain if they focus on the biggest news story. But NBC didn't need to pre-empt their prime-time schedule to tell us that they didn't know anything that they hadn't reported on the evening news.
Maybe I'm just saying that because I like Scrubs.
