I kind of have to echo this sentiment.  I keep hearing from the interminable 
network feeds that we should show our resiliancy by trying to get back to 
business as usual.  Well, when are the networks going to get back to business 
as usual?  It's getting to the point where there's echos of the JFK Jr plane 
crash ("There've been no new developments for 48 hours, here's Dan with all the 
details...").  Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people to have access to 
information, but can't they just preak into programming if something 
significant happens.  Don't we already have half a dozen 24 hour all news 
netorks?  The constant droning about what's happening is simply numbing.  Glad 
I don't normally watch the major networks anyway, thanks for the History 
channel and A&E...
