because it gives them something to talk about.

A lot of the problem (notably with cable networks) is their "24/7" (more or less nowadays) news/political formats, which means trying to manufacture discussion when there isn't any "breaking" type stories.

I really miss CNN Headline News. Yeah, it may have been repetitive but at least it was "news" versus what we see today.
