thing instead of a 24/7 straight news thing.
I don't mind 24 hours news when it is news, but hate it when it is all talking heads I remember turning on Turner CNN to watch snow storm news. They repeated a lot, but interjected news stuff occasionally. So after CNN turned talking head they spun off headline news that was supposed to be the straight news, but that turned into another talking head channel, with the graceless Grace who claims to know the law but has no problem accusing people of murder with little to no evidence.
