And Still They Go

You'd think live coverage of Mr. Reagan's funeral would end when his casket was loaded on the plane and Nancy waved goodbye on the top steps.

No.

For example, NBC/MSNBC now has brought in Tom Brokaw and Tim Russert - greater analytic minds being not hard to find - to rehash the same damned stories we've heard everyday for seven days.

My guess? This is cheaper than covering news.
