We Miss You Tim: Election Night Rants

RIP Tim, we could use you tonight.

Pardon the quick election night post. However, a quick tour of the network election coverage has me fired up.

Toys, Toys, Toys: Enough with the touchscreens and virtual election centers. CNN actually had a correspondent reporting VIA HOLOGRAM. We've gone too far people.

CNN's exclusive new hologram reporting system.

I'm Getting A Headache: I've been desparate tonight to actually find a network that I could watch without getting a headache from the busy screens, tickers, and running total scoreboards. It gets even worse when the affiliates decide to add the local yocal race ticker onto an already crowded screen. I tuned in for an election and I'm getting an OTB scoreboard.

Timmy, we really miss you.

I always felt like Tim Russert was the most unbiased political reporter out there. I greatly respected him not only as a reporter, but as an individual and he is certainly missed greatly.
