I am always amazed at the ability of some of these reporters to blatter about for 10 minutes

without giving any useful info. I am watching Stephanie Ruhle, and she goes to a "breaking news" segment where that guy talks for 10 minutes looking at police car lights flashing in the background basically saying that they have stopped somebody a few hours ago and are interrogating that person. These police cars are blocking a neighborhood near the mexico border. He goes on ranting for 10 minutes about that same thing.
That was reported some time ago already

I thought they had weaned themselves off that but I noticed it creeping back in lately.

Wasn't she on in Lawrence's time slot? I think I asked myself what was going on at that station since I don't like Ruhle but O'Donnell is a favorite. Then a few hours later Lawrence was on. I'm confused. Perhaps I wasn't paying close enough attention since I was doing other stuff at the same time.
