What also struck me as weird is that the DC CBS affiliate had more on the explosion leading its 11 pm newscast than the network "Special Report" breaking in at 1:25 or so in the am.
It just seemed like something that might have ran during a prime time program given the time of the explosion, rather than the slightly bigger deal I expected for an early morning "Special Report" David, making much too big a deal of this. >________________________________ > From: David Lynch <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2013 11:20 AM >Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] CBS unclear on definition of Breaking News? > > > >From what I saw, KWTX, the CBS affiliate in Waco, seemed to be doing some >pretty good work of getting the story out last night without falling into the >two major traps that almost all breaking news coverage seems to fall into >these days--the endless loop of the same details and B-roll, or the reporter >who can't do anything more than state the obvious or engage in speculation >because he/she doesn't have time to gather much actual news because he/she is >doing live reports every few minutes.
