In this circumstance, I’d agree it’s not a good idea recording it two days early when there’s a fast moving story being covered.
But I certainly wouldn’t condemn all pre-recorded news based on this instance. When recording close to broadcast it can deliver a cost-effective way of providing a service which otherwise wouldn’t be financially viable, such as ITV’s sub-regional news. Personally I think this benefit vastly outweighs any rare drawbacks.
