I remember when a crane took over MSNBC for hours a year or so ago.

And then there was the time they expected snow, so their shows consisted of watching the reporters driving around Manhattan.

Basic rule of news shows seems to be: if it's anything about New York, it should be treated as National Breaking News.

And while they usually cover anything bad in Los Angeles as important, using the theme "see how bad a place Los Angeles is," they barely cover the Porter Ranch gas leak (because it shows bad things about fossil fuel).
