> My mind was blown over how I knew about this very important event the night before Mexico TV broke the news.

I've had the opposite experience. It's clear that real-time news is detrimental, and it's better for reporting to wait a bit for facts to come in and analysis to be done.

Early reporting is vague, light on facts, disjointed, facts are hedged, etc. It's really quite worthless.

Your parent comment never claimed that real-time news was a good or bad thing.
