The teasers for stories are as long as the actual stories.

"When we come back from break, Bill Cosby releases a new video amidst controversy."

*two commercial breaks and multiple teasers later*

"Bill cosby released a video promoting his comedy show. He did not mention the controversy." End of story.

This is the television equivalent of clickbait ads on the internet. I understand they need to fill air time but it's completely pathetic.
