Twitchy reports "Author Stephen King has had enough of CNN’s round-the-clock coverage of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, and he’s not alone."
Even a guy who likes a good mystery is bored. His tweets begging CNN to realize "It's time to move on" have been favorited more than 3,800 times and counting:
Somebody please make CNN stop with the plane coverage. It's time to move on.

The coverage reminds me of Alfred Austin's awful couplet: "Across the wires the message came/He is no better, he is much the same."

This constant rehashing of the tragedy shows no respect to the families; it turns them into supporting players in CNN's ratings quest.

PS: This is Stephen King, the man who's only scared by Bible-thumping right-wingers:
Oooo, right-wingers mad about Obamacare tweets. They're the ones who think the earth is 6000 years old. THAT'S scary.
