sensationist reporting

[onelia]

Last night I was channel surfing between BBC, CNN and Channel 10 and which
channel do you think was the worst at this crime? Our own channel 10!!!

When BBC was saying two confirmed fatalities and 70 confirmed injuries
channel 10 was saying "50 killed in subway bombing and London is being
evacuated". Thank god I dont relly on our local channels to keep me
informed!!!!

Should of seen Fox News Channel. As usual fair and balanced with a huge
dose of American Patroitism. I noticed tonight it was displaying London
time

They might die yet, plenty still clinging on in hospital.

In Ten's 5pm news yesterday, they went to town with the ads. From about
5:20pm till 5:50pm, they ran 4 minutes of commercials and 4 minutes of news.
They would fit 1story in between the ad breaks then these stupid "coming up
next" teasers.

Trust Ten to milk the most advertising buck out of a tragedy.
