Countdown Clock Insanity

If you’re like me, you think one of the silliest things the cable news outlets do is put up those dorky countdown clocks when they’re promoting an event such as “Super Tuesday” or, in this case, a debate. Well, CNN took that beyond silly and into the realm of the absurd this morning.
I was clicking around at roughly 8:10 a.m. ET and there, again, on CNN, was a countdown clock which read: Presidential Debate: 35:49:08. In other words, CNN was counting down to the Republican presidential debate they are hosting tomorrow night in Jacksonville, Florida. Tomorrow night!
Ridiculous. What’s next? A countdown clock starting sometime in August for the November election?

I wonder. Did CNN have a countdown clock to Obama’s latest State of the Union speech? And how about Faux Noise?
