CBC Newsworld and CTV News Channel are carrying full live coverage of the funeral of Toronto Police Sgt. Ryan Russell this morning.

Reality TV.

The on-screen banners and news tickers are annoying as always, but those are news channels after all.

I wish that CBCNW and CTVNC would have shown the entire slide presentation of Sgt. Russel's life, instead of showing the audience so much. Maybe a split screen would have been appropiate. It reminded me of the coverage of some of the July 4th fireworks celebrations where the broadcasters decide that showing the people looking up at the fireworks is more important than the fireworks themselves.
