RB: maybe the only thing that cable news knows how to do is generate crisis precisely because 24-hour news only makes sense in a mode of crisis, because anything other than crisis would render the whole apparatus of 24/7 news completely incoherent. Under circumstances of normalcy, why would you ever need 24/7 coverage? Why would it exist?
So in order to operate inside a space in which its existence actually makes sense, it twists everything into a crisis.
