Cable News Coverage of Crisis "Sucks"

Television critic Tim Goodman writes a highly critical review of the recent cable news outlets coverage of the Japan crisis.  But it's more than the typical rant, he offers a strong analysis of what he considers the three most obvious failings: A lack of planning, perspective, and focus that led to ill-informed and speculative coverage, and reporters resorting to stupid questions like "How scary has this been?"
It's worth a read.

"Analysis: TV Cable Coverage of Japan Crisis Is Lacking," Tim Goodman, the Hollywood Reporter.
