The cable news channels are really irritating me. They are taking up so much of the screen with their worms, logos, headlines, etc., you can barely make out what they are broadcasting. Recently, on the ugliest-dog story, the junk went so high on the screen I never did see the mutt. It is out of hand!

Broadcasters and even lesser folks who are heard saying "There's some storms coming our way" instead of "There are . . ." If these same people were to expand "there's" to "there is," they would instantly recognize their singular/plural agreement error. Them's the rules!

Why do the local TV news channels always say they have "breaking news" when more often than not it's about an event that "broke" much earlier and about which we have already been told? And why must they tell us to stay tuned for the "very latest" about some news event previously reported on -- which leads us to believe they might actually have new information to impart -- when in fact it's the same information provided earlier?
