Yes. This.

How about the debate? There are any number of things they should talk about before American Idol.

Not that talking about American Idol is at all relevant to the news haven't you gotten sick about hearing the other crap as well. The war sucks, the economies terrible, and gas prices are through the roof what else can be said.

I'm fairly certain we could get by with a couple 8 hour news channels instead of 18 24 hour news channels.

But that's America. We love quantity over quality.

Unfortunately it's for the same reason that all 18 of the Red Sox v. Yankees games are shown somewhere. It sells. There's a reason AI is as popular as it is. To me it kind of represents the mass ostrich-fication of our population - we don't have to think about all that other stuff.

I only tune in Idol with 5 minutes left on elimination nights. I like to feel their pain.

The 24-hour news cycle is probably the worst thing that ever happened to television.
