Yesterday, CNN, for more than five minutes, covered what the President ate for lunch, how much he tipped, etc. etc. Why? Because the other networks were covering it too? I know it wasn't because it was a slow news day. Between the economy and swine flu, there are no slow news days right now.
I understand it is difficult to fill time on a 24 hour news network. What the national networks do in 30 minutes, CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC do in 144 minutes. However, there has got to be limits. What the President eats for lunch has no business being on a news network.
