In all serious, this thread is meant as a criticism of news networks feeling the need to devote 3 hours to repeating the same three minutes worth of news.
Thoughts?

I know that feeling all too well (*cough* CNN with Malaysian Flight 370 *cough*) in some ways that's why when breaking news hits I like to follow the twitter account or the English twitter account of a group involved.
On the news agency side, I listen to every network but 1. That one network being: The One and Only. Fox News.
I love just watching Fox News to laugh at them. They're like North Korean media, always making bold claims and biased stories that are laughable.

I got a call from my mother today. "So hang on. What's Gaza?" Uh..... *explains* "I don't get it, I watch the news, and I feel so uninformed." Well there's your problem. "Well how do you know what's going on?" I go to the source. If there's a supreme court ruling, I read the decision itself -- not the news article about the decision. "Wait, you can do that?" Yep. "But if I wanted to watch the news, who should I watch?" Whoever you trust the least. For me that's CNN. "But they're biased!" Of course. The point is that I implicitly hate everything they stand for (statist media in general), so they can never get one over on me. "Can't I just watch Fox?" No. Because all journalists are dicks, even the conservative ones. They are all lying to you. "Well that's not good...." No, no it isn't.
"All journalists are dicks" Wrong. The whole media is a bunch of dicks.
At least north korean journalists have standards
Look i know its bad and everything but the ABC news 24 station (In case you could not tell they are a 24 hour news service) has been non-stop talking about the Aircraft destroyed in Ukraine and just regurgitating information with minor updates every 2 hours or so. Yes i know thats its a important story and that it is indeed a 24 news channel but there are other things in the world to talk about, like i don't know the high of corn crops in China or something.
