An election happened last night. That's fine and all, but as with any major newsworthy event (presidential addresses, debates, etc.), there was an overabundance of coverage. Of course the news-centric networks covered it (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC), but the major entertainment networks covered it too (CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC). Yes, it was important. And I actually agree that it's a good idea to have at least two networks cover it just in case one in overly biased. But to have the same exact thing on no less than seven different channels is a bit much. Thankfully, channels like TBS are still around to play reruns of funny shows, so I watched Family Guy all night. #entertainment
Rus, I did tune in to election coverage until they called Ohio. Once Ohio was called, it was over. I knew who won and still got to enjoy other programming. I love that "Last" button.
