I spent years without a TV at all and haven't watched any sort of broadcast or cable regularly since like 2004. As a result, I have a few distinct memories of "news events" that persist like visits to a carnival of madmen. The disappearance of MH 370 was on literally non-stop on CNN in particular, and we'd walk out of the hotel lobby to see the same group of people repeating that basically nothing had changed but oh my god maybe this personage or another will have something soon, walking back in the evening past the same thing, for days. It's really no wonder people came up with insane conspiracies about it, because for like two solid weeks multiple TV channels were going on about it as if the world had ended.
