12. They were showing the same video over and over and over

while DIFFERENT reporters and commentators were off-screen, talking about the attack. If you wanted to HEAR the information that was being presented, you had to listen at the same time you viewed the video recycling over and over and over. Enough already! At the least they should have done a split screen, so there would have been something else to look at while listening to the story, besides the same 15 second reel.
