I can't understand the fascination with being "constantly updated" on some tragic event. Obviously, what happened happened, and there's nothing you as a viewer can do to change it. The news will still be there tomorrow, and it might even be more accurate! I would like to hear from someone who does watch the news in these cases. What do you get out of it? I remember watching pretty hard after 9/11. I was 19 then, and I can't for the life of me remember why I did.
