A thought from some broadcast journalims bulleting boards:
Did ABC overdo the coverage on that evening's news show?
Most say yes.
The event was certainly newsworthy, but to take basically the entire show -- well, his death may not have been the most important story that day.
No problems with a prime time special (I think NBC did one for Brokaw and CBS did one for Rather), and extensive coverage on Good Morning America, but the evening program is called "World News Tonight."
Those who knew him (I'm not included) say that he would have been embarassed that this was the majority of the air time on a "world" news program.
For what it's worth.
