The Wasteland Revisited

I found Rick Du Brow’s piece (“TV News Too Trivial to See the Big Picture,” Feb. 10) on the myopic nature of TV news quite fascinating.

I agree. The news on television is a bright light indeed. It sweeps down into a situation with obtrusive bedlam, illuminating some things and leaving others in total gloom.

Before you are quite sure what has happened, the TV crews depart to their next assignment.
