sensationalist journalism..
 
im really friggan sick of it.. and sadly now even the discovery channel has FULLY embraced it.

i dont understand why added ""dramatisism"" (is that a word?) has to be added to real life situation in which lives were obviously in danger..

seriously its annoying and disgusting.. and enough with the sidewalk interviews.. like O&A say, no one ever has anything worth while to say.. "i was shocked" yeah that's great.. what were you gonna be totally expecting that accident?

enough all ready. cut the crap with the teasers and what not and just say. "this happened, here's how, here's why. here's the video." end of story. it doesn't need to be a hollywood blockbuster on the edge of my seat deal. just tell/show me what happened.

i'm really sick of it.. (then again i'm sick of almost everything media related in this country)

It's all media entertainment now. If you want real news read the Economist.

Funny how I had to Google to even know what that was, yet it was on the tip of your tongue.
