23. It's been a LOT. And they will drag it out for at least another week at maximum coverage...

They could cut it back some... it's not breaking news anymore.

I'd rather have coverage of Ukraine or Jan 6, or the missing top secret national security files.

'Jesus, Enough with the Queen!' Howard Stern Fumes Over 'Annoying' Media Coverage of Monarch [View all] Mr. Sparkle Sep 2022 OP

I expect Howard Stern to make a shallow complaint like this Walleye Sep 2022 #1

You don't believe in a free press? Kaleva Sep 2022 #46

We have a free press & the right to tell the press we're SICK of this endless, fawning coverage. pnwmom Sep 2022 #64

And they have the right not to listen to you Kaleva Sep 2022 #102

Yes, they are free to lose their credibility with those in their audience who expect them to report pnwmom Sep 2022 #106

They may be gambling that they'll have a net increase in viewers Kaleva Sep 2022 #109

I doubt that there are millions of viewers who want to see endless scenes of the cathedral, pnwmom Sep 2022 #111

About 5% of the adult population is watching cable news in primetime Kaleva Sep 2022 #112

And probably about 7% of them are part English, and the coverage is driving others away. pnwmom Sep 2022 #115

When the ratings come out, we'll see if people are tired of the coverage Kaleva Sep 2022 #116

What I noticed was that Fox was covering Royalty much less than MSNBC and CNN was. pnwmom Sep 2022 #117

I'm with ya. Got jumped all over Saturday for saying about the same thing. Liberal In Texas Sep 2022 #104

Yes. It's an important story and deserves coverage, but this is silly. Midnight Writer Sep 2022 #35

I don't understand an American without an English background to make a comment like yours. pnwmom Sep 2022 #63

So when the King of Belgium will pass out, I guess we'll get two weeks of coverage too, or... Justice matters. Sep 2022 #83

Howard Stern is the expert on annoying after all ripcord Sep 2022 #3

N0 he is not. That is just your opinion. Stern is fun to listen to - not annoying at all. Tommymac Sep 2022 #47

In this case he is annoyingly correct. Annoying to lovers of an obsolete and expensive monarchy, Martin68 Sep 2022 #75

Turn off your TV, Howard. Nobody's making you watch. Ocelot II Sep 2022 #4

Stern is one of those people not bright enough to self moderate their own viewing ripcord Sep 2022 #8

Hey, history buff here. I appreciate the coverage of the Queen-related events. calimary Sep 2022 #70

I agree. I'm sure TFG is deeply annoyed that someone else is dominating the news. Ocelot II Sep 2022 #74

"Donald Trump flew to Washington" wouldn't be filling your TV as an alternative... brooklynite Sep 2022 #100

I don't get US TV here, it's true DFW Sep 2022 #80

On MSNBC, CNN, and the local stations, we've been seeing almost as much Royalty coverage pnwmom Sep 2022 #85
