Just a rant:
I couldn't be a home at 2:30 today so I set the DVR to record "millionaire"
When I came back, I got one question on the show and the rest was a news break about Obama/Hillary
Things like that should be left to the news networks (CNN, FOX, MSNBC...) and not the networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC
If networks wish to cover stories like that then they should do it during their newscasts and not cut into network programming.
CNN, Fox, MSNBC.... are cable stations and don't have an obligation to any community. While CBS, NBC, ABC are groups of local affiliates that serve their communities. It is the local affiliates station news director that makes the call on whether to interrupt the current program, to cover breaking news that the main news division of the network is carrying.
Sorry you missed Meredith, but coverage of this tragedy was more important.
