I have to vent..

Was anybody else trying to watch the coverage of the d-day ceremonies ?

MSNBC is supposedly covering the d day ceremonies in France. The focus
should be on the event and the men and woman who fought then not the
reporters or the tv program....

The reporters will not shut up and they just cut away from the program
were
old warbirds ( c-47, Spitfires, etc..) were flying over the beaches to go
to
bulls**t programming they can show later.

If you feel the way I do call msnbc at (201) 583-5000 and tell them what
you
think..

Sorry for taking the bandwidth..

BBC coverage was superb

That's because the BBC is NOT a commercial network.

Commercial networks are in business to make a profit by selling
advertising time. Serving the audience is not their purpose.

And without competition, the rest of their programming is brain-dead.

Ok ITV ( the Uk commercial network) coverage was equally as good then only
the presenters were different

Some of the best programs on U.S. TV were copied from the BBC.
