Wall to Wall coverage of the UK -- little for Biden

[live love laugh]

and Democracy.

It says everything about the RW owned media that the very stations that didn’t cover the Presidents address a week ago are stopping in their tracks for the UK.

This isn’t about the Queen or whether I “like” the UK (I do) it’s about the media.

Fuck the RW owned media. 🖕🏾

1. You have to give it to england and their rich history and pomp and circumstance

I bet most viewers are enjoying the break from constant politics.

[peggysue2]

2. I just read that there will be a 10-day mourning period in Britain

I certainly hope our own MSM doesn't follow suit bc I'm already tired of the continuous loop coverage.

6. Betting this is all that will be seen for days.

[peggysue2]

9. Ugh!

I get the interest in many quarters but this saturation coverage is ridiculous. Sounds as if I'll be disconnecting the TV.

[Sympthsical]

3. It's a historic moment in world history

Although TV has become saturated, there is some good news - reading yet exists.

People are feeling a smidgen of what I feel not wanting to hear people not very expert drone on and on about Trump for hours on the daily with little new to say and bereft of any insight.

The Queen gets one day, and cable news addicts are ready to burn it all down.

I'm amused.

4. I have very little interest in the UK and have turned off the news.

[BlackSkimmer]

5. This is history.

And no one is making anyone watch tv.

[live love laugh]

8. It's not about being made to watch. It's about the content

missing which affects our country and democracy.

[BlackSkimmer]

10. I don't know about you, but I have access to the inter webs.

Thousands upon thousands of news sources. Give it a try!

[live love laugh]

11. And many don't have access. So there's that...

[Sympthsical]

13. People who have cable have internet

Seriously, cable news is a vanishingly small audience.

The only people being deprived right now are that tiny fraction of the population who watch cable news all day everyday.

I'm sorry if they're affected, but my sympathy is low. Sometimes being forced to go cold turkey can be a good thing. I say those most affected should embrace the opportunity!

[BlackSkimmer]

15. Anyone complaining here on this site does have access.

So there’s that.

Anyone with a library in their town can access the internet.

The coverage of the Queens death will continue unless something takes it off the news. Best find yourself something else to watch?

[live love laugh]

17. It's about more than who's on this site. Many have

never heard of DU.

[BlackSkimmer]

20. Well, it's the only place where I'm seeing people complaining lol.

Most people aren’t glued to cable news all day anyway. Very few are.

[live love laugh]

23. Kind of makes my point.

[inthewind21]

14. If what's on the tv

is crucial to democracy well, explains a lot.

[live love laugh]

18. It sure does explain a lot. #4thestate

[BlackSkimmer]

21. Thank goodness what's on tv is NOT crucial to democracy. nt

[Walleye]

25. With today's news media, those contents are missing anyway

There’s no either or. It’s not like if they don’t cover the queen then they’ll go over to some fair coverage of Biden. Like those people saying we should take the money we send to Ukraine and pay for blah blah blah with it, or whatever. It’s not the way it works.

[brooklynite]

7. "Why isn't the media covering what *I* think is important?"

I was guessing it would take at least 48 hours for the first rant to appear.

[BlackSkimmer]

16. Exactly. nt

12. Biden is in Columbus OH today

At the official groundbreaking of the Intel chip plant. It’s a BFD !

I don’t watch TV news during the day but I wonder if there’s any coverage of this at all.

I’d rather not listen to puke DeWine who I’m sure is there to offer his blather for the cameras

[BlackSkimmer]

19. You know what? Just for fun I googled that, and there were innumerable hits.

So there ya go. Plenty of news.

[Diamond_Dog]

22. Awesome! Thanks for finding out for me!

I did see PBS has a live feed.

[BlackSkimmer]

24. There ya go!

[kwolf68]

26. It's Friday a weak news day anyway?

Maybe let UK have their moment and Biden will get back to getting on with it next week.
