A couple of weeks ago I wrote an editorial condemning the American TV networks for going overboard in their coverage of the heroic crew of the airliner that ditched in the Hudson River. No doubt about it, this was a great story filled with genuine heroes. However, the media indulged in its tendency to go all out and virtually ignored every single other news story in the world for a period of 24 hours. Well, just when you thought it was safe to go to the remote control again, lo and behold - they've released the cockpit tapes of the incident, which has now given the media reason to go into overdrive again. The worst offender: CBS, which is devoting an entire Early Show to discussing the incident yet again. This in a week in which the political developments are a news junkie's idea of heaven. Stop the madness! Let's give these heroes their due, but for God's sake, let's remember there is a world that exists out there. This Oprahization of television has become nauseating.- Lee Pfeiffer (To read original editorial click here)Â
