24hr news would be OK if it wasn't mostly the same half dozen stories repeated. There's a whole world out there with stuff going on!
In the last year I have been able to watch 24h news in different corners of the world. Each place has their own top 5 stories that they regurgitate until you can repeat them of fluently even if you don't speak the lingo.
Though that said there is stories out there that would be great to hear on the other side of the world, which even BBC news online don't report on their world news.
The only 24h news station I have come across that have more news than the top 5 and have more news from elsewhere is al jazeera. I'm not saying it is the best or right just that one gets to hear about stuff that is going out there that you never hear on your local and local 24h news.
This is one thing that the internet and rss feeds are brilliant for, but sometimes gets your blood boiling when the five top stories you heard after the BONG ain't any of the ones you have read and think is more important than what Kake was wearing or if her bump can be seen or not.
