I must say, I certainly agree with that.  Sometimes they're asleep at the
switch on an important event, but other times, they're much too quick on
the trigger.  My favorite grievance is the time they broke into the end of
Kelsey Grammar's special tribute to Jack Benny a couple of years ago to
show the mayor and the DA having a news conference on a shooting incident
downtown earlier in the evening.  There was no new information in the news
conference, just the talking heads of politicians, repeating the same news
that was on at 6 and would be on again at 11.
