I don't think I was missing out on much, either, even while the Queen was still alive.

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

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