24 Hour News Cycle

Yesterday, while watching TV with my father, they cut into the program we were watching for breaking news. It had nothing to do with war in Iraq or the presidential race. Regularly schedule programming was interrupted to bring us Barry Bones attempt to become tied for number 3 on the all time home run list. 660 homeruns are impressive, but I don’t need to know right now. Most news that is given to me right now, I don’t need right now. Most of the time breaking news is incomplete or just plain wrong.
