All other news takes a back seat to the crash in the mountains of southern France of a Germanwings plane. Understandably, although hours of coverage unaccompanied by new info, there being none available yet, is tedious. Can't help suspecting that the reason is that all networks must send their own reporters and crews to the disaster site to avoid being scooped, and that once there they feel that the presence must be justified by frequent reports as all other news and analysis is put on hold.
