After watching another shuttle launch and flipping desperately between
channel 4 and CNN, I very much wish for a channel that would tell
the commentator to SHUT-UP during the launch.

CNN loves to play video games and share the NASA video feed (shrunk to
a tiny box) with a mugshot of some moron telling me useless crud.

Channel 4 had some bimbo saying things like: "Their waiting for the 
visibility to get better than 7 miles per hour". Or gems like "The
Challenger successfully underwhent SRB seperation". Arrrrgggghhh.

Can't I PLEASE hear and see the NASA feeds? Do we have to have the
lowest common denominator?

I fondly remember the days when good 'ol Walter Cronkite would
cut over to the NASA feed at t- 1 minute and STAY there until near
orbit was acheived. 

Please, please folks write your major networks and tell them to
shut the f**k up!  NASA folks, help!
