Endless Loop

As we continue to mourn the victims of the Orlando massacre (because, really, that's what it was), I have to shake my head at the non-stop coverage on the cable news networks. I know whenever a tragedy like this occurs, the cable news networks go into near hysteria and work to dig up any bit of news they can use and run in an endless loop because the 24-hour news cycle never stops. Oh, here's a guy who talked to the shooter once at Burger King. Let's interview him! Here's a lady who spoke to lived next door to the shooter's wife five years ago. Let's interview her! I understand the need to get information out to the public, but when does the quest for legitimate information turn into ridiculousness in the quest for ratings?
