Must have been a slow news day...not!

Nope, no external links today - this post is about the crapola that went on this morning on MSNBC while I was prepping for work. TV on, listening to network news (after getting my dose of excellent local news from KTVU Ch. 2) . Not sure if this went on with other network news stations as well ( i.e. CNN, Fox, etc.):

So get this, there's a war in the Middle East, a new video from the 2nd in command of our favorite evil empire, a possible break through with an Israeli soldier release, a Tour de France fiasco, and so on....and what does MSNBC focus on for more than 20 minutes? A stupid police chase somewhere in LA County. TWENTY MINUTES - are you kidding me? On national network news? On a "slow" news day like this???! A mention maybe, since they do need some break, but 20 continuous minutes??!!! Crapola programming!

Now before someone asks why I'm venting on one hand, and um watching this "fit-for-BEST-POLICE-CHASE-video" crapola on the other, well, I wasn't. I'll save everyone the details of my early morning prep for work activities, and just say that I could hear it going on, not view it, don't have the remote handy. It's one of those things you just notice and then say, "What the crapola!", this is news?
