Our local TV News channels must be part of a monopoly or somehow get together to prevent the rest of us from hearing something other than inane chatter from anchors. It can't be the only thing in the world, even locally is the snowstorm , though that is what the producers would have us believe because nothing else is being broadcast. Hey guys, we are in New England in the middle of December...what else is it going to do? So many people were praying for a White Christmas I want to call some of them up and tell them to shovel me out since they prayed for the storm.
Those of us with cable can get news elsewhere. The network political shows on Sunday mornings that have been pre-empted so that we can hear whether the anchors had difficulty getting to their job and whether they got their doughnuts this morning. I for one do not like the being -in-their-living-room.
We lost electricity for a bit more than an hour. I found my battery operated radio and listened to all the AM and FM frequencies. Not one had a word about the weather. So much for anticipation of the need for weather emergencies to be reported...what else is a radio good for these days if you can't hear about the unusual that you can't get when the power is not available? Am I the only one who feels this way? Gr-r-r!
