hmm I had a late one last night and on the Telly, flicked to news @ 3 am. I saw the intro story into the Amish Shootings, and thought ok go American so switched to FOX NEWS..
And then it hit me. At first I felt odd looking at the screen.. alomost jaw dropping in disbelief that Gret Van Whatchmylip was giving it to us live from outside the school...... but sitting on easy lounge chairs that would be welcomed on any talk show set.
There is something very odd and entirely not right with that? Then the local chief copper takes his lounge seat and is delivered questions by Greta something along the lines of...
"Do you think its harder to deal with knowing that children have been executed this way? "
huh....
She put the same question to the coroner too....... you know "Is it harder for you doing your job because they are children and have been executed this way ?"
then next onto the lounge seat was a local neighbour having a chat, some form of an attempt of a tv make up job was looked present on this one.
They had turned it into a bloody chat show, I feel something for Americans being pumped this, Do any americans on these boards notice these oddities or is it normalised for you all now..... ?
Coverage like that can only further desensitise the population and normalise chat show approach to newscasts .
Can the Brits imagine Trevor Mcdonought news @ 10 chatting to guests ,SITTING on bloody easy chairs outside a massacre scene in this country asking bloody stupid questions....
like hey "gun shot to the head, tell me, Does that like ,Hurt?" (turn to camera)
"We'll find out after these important messages from Heckler & Koch putting reassurance back in your hands"..... der de derr
Cheers Fox News..... *&^%$£$%% ^ WATS
# Oh say can you see... etc, etc....
