Ugh...Fox News and MSNBC stick with regular partisan political hosts. Using no real journalist as presenters during primetime coverage of these stories. Fox of course finds a way to bash the US president during their coverage of the plane coverage. Vile and disgusting.
CNN and AJAM plays it straight, pulling out the stops. CNN certainly flexes its muscle and global resources to cover both the plane crash and the Israeli stories. Simulcasts continue at this hour on CNNI and CNN Domestic.
Excellent report by Bridget Kendall at the top of the Ten. Proves how structured flagship bulletins are still needed in a time of 24 hour news. Of course bits and pieces is the very nature of breaking news, but how she managed to bring together the signficance of everything so concisely impressed me.
Yes, it was excellent, and contained interviews and other material, I'd not seen during the previous 3-4 hours on BBC News Ch. Why is that ?
Dutch national broadcaster NOS started coverage on Nederland 1 at 17:35 local time (after the finish of the Tour de France ), until the main evening news (at 8 'o clock). The main evening news was extended to 21:15. Current affairs show Newshour (Nieuwsuur) aired from 21:50 to 00:00 instead of 22:00 to 23:00.
This morning, additional coverage with aviation experts continue during the regular planned bulletins.
