& with the yanks calling press conferences every 5 minutes, turning the whole thing into one big pr stunt.

Reminds me of when they were covering the tsunami disaster a reporter bend down and picked up a soaking wet children's teddy bear. Immediately I thought of a sketch in Drop The Dead Donkey showing the same thing. Sometimes I think they do it to maybe win journalism prizes.

Perhaps they see it as 'newsworthy'. What would you like them to report on?
|

By:
The thing with the [b]NEWS[/b] is it regualarly involves people suffering. Maybe you'd be better off watching UK style or summit.

what annoys me more is people who start threads like this

Come on IS, thats harsh on the Americans
Offered huge support and aid already. Lots of people, countries quick to give them stick over iraq.. but in situations like this they dont get the praise they deserve imo |

Exploitation with video footage of some of most horrifying sites in the world is regular for all parts of the media. We have to accept it. It's over the top and it goes further with every tragedy.
|

By:
Think about it.
If your mom / dad was there lying on floor nearly dying with pain would you like a camera crew standing over him / her making it a news item? We have seen enough of the suffering already but now it seems like they searching the whole of Haiti for these incidents. |

Same people who watch this kind of thing on news love to slow down to 20mph when theres been a bad accident on other carriageway. I know what rubble, blood and crying children look like - I once crafted a shoddily built tree house, so why do news corps have to pimp this stuff 24/7 as if we're all completely oblivious to what happens in the world?
I blame the x factor / big bruva types. |
|
By:
why do all news channels literally send legions of reporters & presenters out there? If I was a haitian and hundreds of well-fed western journalists were wondering around my neighbourhood while I was homeless and starving I would be very angry too.
Can't help thinking that theres a connection between 100s of journos making it to the worst hit areas while all that aid isn't getting through. |
|
By:
Yep there is a connection. It's called the greed of people making money out of such a tragedy getting in the way rather than helping. It's disgraceful given all the appeals to donate as I've touched on over the last 2 nights.

By:
Both ITV and BBC are increasingly critical of the yanks,of course it dxoesnt stop their reporters cadging lifts on american copters.
|
|
By:
it's not just showing the suffering, it's the way they get on their high horse about what's being done. All that bleating about aid planes not being able to get there - well how did you arrive dear BBC journos - did you fly in all by youself?
And the commentary on the dumping of dead bodies is the worst - what they hell are they supposed to do with them? I know it's harsh, but if they left them in the streets disease would rocket. Any buildings that are left standing should be put towards use for the living, not the dead. |
