And they were entitled to a tea break, then it was The Archers, before you know it, it's time to go home.

I'm starting to wonder if it'll be years rather than days or weeks before anyone really knows what's happened.

Deeply unfunny. Some people are complete prats.

OK, sorry, have removed it.

Well - to this day Amelia Earhardt's plane has never been found.

[QUOTE 2993922, member: 45"]So they've confirmed what we pretty much knew. All lost.

Why couldn't she have kept a dignified distance, the bloody ghoul?

Shock sells. Simple as that. It's a business. Had she not gone as close as she had, she would no doubt have heard from her editors and executive producers and been given a hard time for not getting in there and being competitive. This is not to excuse her, but to explain. The disconnect between story and genuine human emotion and trauma is pretty complete, especially with television crews and with a lot of photographers as well. They all tend to think visually and only visually.in my experience. In short, they simply don't 'get it'.

I just switch over. Not because I can't accept 'difficult' news stories, but because I can't be doing with the crass insensitivity of hacks and their controllers. If she had been outside the building I would have listened.

I stopped watching TV news some time ago... fed up with the dumb format and 'at the scene reporting'. Better to wait a while for a measured response and clarity instead of hyped-up guesswork.

I know first hand that the press don't care a s#!t about feelings and emotion no matter how big or small they are..........I hate them
