You know, that's what I realized this morning. The reason I was pissy about this last night wasn't because they were interrupting TV for the news. I was upset because they were interrupting TV for the news when they didn't even know the news yet. They couldn't report anything, except that the plane went off the runway, and maybe into the street. They had no specifics, so why spend the time interrupting TV to talk about it? It just seems like another example of the news being all "LOOKOUT! BAD THINGS ARE HAPPENING! WE HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!" I think I'm just so used to the news media playing Chicken Little for so long that I automatically think they're overreacting to stuff, even when they aren't.
