You have to realize that many of us like it when things like this happen.
When the news cartels jump on something like this and nothing else for hours, its because there are no real newsworthy events happening and you do not need to watch.
When I am traveling I turn the tube on in which-ever country I land in and if CNN shows nothing important in the first 3 minutes after the top or bottom of the hour, then you know that nothing exciting is going on...
