The worst example of overkill on Sky News in recent months was the Naomi Campbell/dirty diamonds court case. A complete non story, yet Sky carried the whole court proceedings live for hours on end.
Anyway, to keep on thread, I thought the Chilean President did a good job staying through the whole rescue. He showed true leadership of the country.
