WHY is this stuff always posted when TWC IS doing it's JOB????????
That mystifies me as well. Perhaps that stuff should have been posted back in June when they went to long-form while a Super Derecho was striking. When TWC does what it should be doing in the first place and suspends long-form programming we should give them a pat on the back.
They have all day, and still are except for the concert. All of the networks of NBCUniversal broadcast it. For you to say that is incredibly insensitive and offensive. I've learned to respect your opinions, but this is going to far. Learn to have some respect and compassion for other people's opinions, because you, kind sir, have pissed me off and offended me immensely.
I do not disrespect others' opinions aside from merely posting my own views. I have never disparaged or insulted your opinions because I wish to lead by example. I have enough courtesy to refrain from laying an elaborate case against such broadcasts in the interest of your sanity and avoiding a flame war (as well as my own stress level), but it should suffice to say that I disapprove of anyone using compassion, whether deliberately or unwittingly, as a means to hold the rest of us hostage and force otherwise irrational choices on us. It might surprise you to know that I actually approve, or at least am indifferent to, relief concerts being broadcast on networks whose form and mission is consistent with such broadcasts. NBC qualifies, as does MSNBC. The stock market is closed at 8 PM, so CNBC qualifies as well. TWC's mission of covering weather and broadcasting weather information is in conflict with such a broadcast. It simply doesn't belong on TWC and if it were not for their sappiness it would not have been broadcast on TWC. In any case the concert would not be harmed in the least by being broadcast on three channels instead of four.
