What’s unfortunate is that some of you can’t seem to realize that a worldwide pandemic is more important than seeing someone win both showcases.
Doctors + Government: "Stay inside!"
Networks + Affiliates: "We're here with you. Stay in and watch our programming. #AloneTogether"
Networks + Affiliates: *preempts half the morning programming*
There can be a balance between covering the daily updates on the pandemic. There happens to be a slot of programming meant for daily news throughout the day at noon, 5pm, and 11pm that can go over a lot of the lesser urgent updates.
And, I'm on the side of most preemptions, so I'm not like most going "Who cares? *rabble**rabble**rabble*" Especially when the preemptions go over new executive orders from governors and the President. The information does need to be disseminated.
