The Pope is Getting out of the Car
The media goes loopy trying to fill 24 hour coverage.
During the past week the Pope has been taking a historic tour of Britian - remember your history, Hnery VIII and all that.
The media went into high gear and beyond. Sky News ran a series of adverts that appeared to be promoting a rock group’s tour, bizarre and then the 24 hour UK coverage took over.
If the Pope scratched his nose it seemed to commented on and if they could have put the cameras into his private rooms they would have.
We saw getting out of his car with full live commentary, with an ‘experts’ comments on the security detail, the car, the pope, the weather and so on. The car was followed to its destination and so on.
They filled in with interviews with what seemed like anybody, with some seeming a little clueless about the Pope.
I wasn’t at all interested in the Pope’s state visit but I couldn’t get away form it. 24 hour news is great for somethings but when all the nations news services are showing the same thing live, in this case an old German man on a trip, when I was trying to catch up on news but I couldn’t every channel had the same coverage!
