Single-story news channels

I am not sure what the point is of having access to several full-time news channels on television if they are all dominated by the same story about which there is little new news. Is there not some other news from somewhere they can give us? At around the time of Biden's first press conference as President, one couldn't escape it, even many hours afterward. I thought this trial in Minneapolis was successfully dominating the news, even though right now it mostly seems to focus soberly on incidental detail of matters like police organization and training, but instead every channel is now filled with many minutes of this lone assault on the Capitol, though we have less than a half-minute of actual information about it yet. At least it is not as bad as the occasional coverage of, a Royal baby will be born soon, here is the street outside the hospital where we don't know any more than you, the viewer.
