Dear Local Television News Stations,

I'm writing to express my concern in your latest preempting television on Thursday night. Yes, I understand that half of my state is on fire, yes I feel horrible for the families that have had to evacuate their homes, yes I feel even worse for the ones that have lost their homes. Now to the media, why do you feel the need to preempt ALL night of prime-time television. I'm upset you caused my DVR to record your pathetic excuse of "news" instead of the newest episode of The Office, as well as the television debut of Parks & Recreation. It doesn't just stop there, I missed CSI AND Harper's Island. How do I know if I'm even going to like these 2 new shows, if you've preempted them?!

What kind of news is there to generate that justifies your 3 hours of reporting, that you already didn't report from 3:00 on? NONE! There you have your answer. The fire departments are working overtime with the fires, your pilots are starving and want to go home for dinner, and the Oklahoma wind isn't going to magically stop blowing in the middle of the afternoon/evening. It's OKLAHOMA, the wind never stops blowing! I suggest the next time you choose to preempt my prime-time Thursday night TV, it better be because there is a tornado coming straight for my house and I better bail out of it or I'm going to go for a spin! I don't see any of your stupid reporters out there with hoses helping the poor citizen wetting down his neighbors yards because they're not home from work yet to protect their own house. Instead you're interviewing him when he could be doing more good.

Until you get your lazy preempting rears out there and do something personally about these fires then I don't care about your pathetic excuse of what you'd call "reporting". You could have broken in during the commercial breaks to give us an update, (like you do with tornados!) or you could run your little news ticker at the bottom of the screen, that you've FINALLY opted for at 11:00pm. There was ABSOLUTELY no justification for the preempting you did to my Thursday night television! I think you went overboard and this was most def! OVERKILL DOUCHE BAGS!

Angry in Oklahoma,

Trouble Darling
