Remember when there was more than one news story on at a time? Somewhere back about the time CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News all started jockying for eyeballs and advertising revenue the major news networks switched from covering a number of news stories to covering just one. Yeah, I can watch Pope TV for a week now. Great; at least Schiavo and Jacko month is over.

I agree its pathetic.

And then you watch , well here in Canada , your local TV and watch local reporters report straight from the newswire feeds.

I switch to BBC world ...and yup ..still about the fucking Pope.

I mean seriously they make the guy out to be great but forget his stance on Condons during the AIDS crisis , abortion and womens rights.

He was a catholic Pope...you know..a bigot.

Colin, I do not think its from too much competition.

I am tired of Pope TV as well, but with 1 in 4 people on the planet being Catholic, it will effect coverage.

The way I figure it, CNN puts any other news story on today and MORE eyeballs go to Pope TV. The only choice a ratings motivated network can make is to do cover what everyone else is - though with varying lenses.

Same thing with every other major week-long plus news story the past few years. The more competition, the more the consumer determines the end product. Now that is all fine with me. I'm not really complaining but just observing. There are plenty of great sources of information elsewhere in the world - more than ever.

Hell, gimme a war and I'll watch TV news all day but the fuckin' pope dieing in his old age? Bah! I can understand everything I need to know about it in 5 minutes. A polish Pope lived a long time, never got caught with small children, did some good deeds, got old and finally died. Surely there will be a commemorative postage stamp. The only question is whether Topps will release some John Paul II cards.

I've just avoided any of the news stations the last couple days
I managed to watch a little PopeTV the other day and got sick of the first 10 minutes...

I am a little miffed though that I was two days off and lost the When Will The Pope Die Already betting pool....

I had been thinking fuck why is this taking up so much TV time, but I did watch a little and was amazed by some of the things he'd done in history, long before I'd remember.

I've always thought he was an ass as all I remember is his stance against condoms and women being priests etc ... he represents everything I dislike about religion.

But with all that said, he is obviously a very important figure in history and with quarter of the world being catholic, it is pretty significant what will happen now, after his death .... maybe not to us, but I respect the rights of those who mourn his passing.

I agree that this '1 news story' thing that's been happening since 9/11 is getting a little annoying ... but there's a ratings war going on and I guess this is how they are playing.

We've had 2 stories this week ... a helicopter of aussie military went down in indonesia while helping with earthquake rescue's and 9 aussies were killed ... makes me wish there WAS only 1 story - at least the pope got to live a full life.

Television news really is a waste of time. Internet news pages are really the only way to go. I mean, the major stories still dominate a large chunk of the page's real estate, but at least it's easy to get at other news. Good ol' Google News.

Just scroll down the page and the vast variety of news you can get at so quickly and easily is just amazing. You could never get that kind of scope on TV news.
