Oh enough about the damn prison escape already!

35 minutes into Ed Shultz's show and not a peep about marriage equality or the funeral in Charleston today.

1. They are rerunning the funeral on CSPAN--Rev Middleton is giving his barn-burner eulogy. nt

[jwirr]

2. Yes, but at least they have captured one of them - he is dead. Ed was going to start talking

about something else and now they have new info again. I am sick of it also.

3. That's the typical cable news...

It'll be all night now covering the manhunt in New York.

Charleston and SCOTUS has already been pushed to page 2.

4. Turn off the TV.

You already know all you need to know: Marriage equality is law of the land. Go out and celebrate.

5. What more is there to say about gay marriage?

It is law of the land. They just killed one of the escaped prisoners which just happened. I would imagine if you lived in the area of the escape you may want to know about this.

6. So why watch it?

You have the internet, you could have spent the last 35 minutes reading all manner of enlightened commentary about both marriage equality and the funeral. Why sit there seething watching some TV show and hating it?

7. Well, see how we are?

I got annoyed because I could not find anything about the terrorist attack in France OR the Supreme Court ruling because of the funeral coverage.

You were NOT watching CNN if you missed the funeral coverage.

I AM interested in the prison escapees, and I AM interested in the Supreme Court rulings, and I AM interested in the terrorist attacks.

But CNN has only given me the funeral, followed by the convict coverage.

Patience grasshopper.

9. There was a time when media could do all those at almost the same time

At this point I find it highly entertaining though.

[cwydro]

10. Lol! You made me laugh!

Because you are exactly right!

On every point. Now, see, I'm sad again.

Why can't they do that anymore???

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. It's not a bug, it is a feature

becuase CNN-I does this regularly, so does foreign media.

[Igel]

12. Every change = gap in viewer concentration.

That's when we go away to eat, pee, or just go away.

Longer stories keep those already there. "In depth" instead of "headline news." Want "headline news," go Twitter.

8. I have brought this precise point a few times
