From: Robert Elton Maas <REM @ MIT-MC> I agree with you, that was truly shoddy journalism. By the way, here in the SF bay area there was no mention of coverage on TV, so I turned on radio and happened upon KGO radio 810 KHz which said on their talk show they'd break early to cover the landing at 45 minutes after that hour. They indeed broke about that time and covered the landing. Several minutes later KPIX channel 5 TV finally interrupted their programming to cover the landing, only about 2 minutes before landing. The other network stations didn't start their coverage until about 1 minute before landing, but still better than the shoddy station you are forced to watch. I suggest you send a letter to the station and to the FCC advising them of the shoddy journalism you noticed and saying you're opposed to renewall of their broadcasting license until and unless they apologize and adopt a new policy.
