TV journalism at its worst
Ok so I'm up late tonight waiting for the NyQuil to kick in (cause I slept in late this morning and aren't even close to tired, and it's 1:30am) and I'm wasting time kicking around YouTube, and I come across this video. Take a look at this startling movie.It plays more smoothly if you click on it and watch it at full res.
Now, if you were a TV reporter, and you were a human being--sorry, the two aren't necessarily inclusive, as this video demonstrates--wouldn't it be your first reaction, after determining that you are out of immediate danger, to go see if either of the drivers are hurt?? I know he's in the middle of a broadcast, but excuse me, there are people very nearby who could probably use some of your attention! Obviously you're talking to someone in real time--give them the location so they can call 911, then stop your broadcast and attend to the injured before they bleed to death or a fire ignites. Seriously. Listen to this moron prattle on, more interested in his own story than going to see how badly these people are hurt. I'm sorry, that's pathological.
Besides, to what extent do you think this reporter indirectly caused this accident, seeing as how the driver of the red car was not paying attention to the oncoming truck from his/her left? That's cause s/he was probably watching your stupid newscast you blithering retard instead of checking for traffic behind the van as it crossed. Turn off the frakin camera and help.
No news broadcast is more important than basic human decency. I can't stand journalists who forget this.

He's probably a democrat. No wait, most democrats would lend a hand because of their unrelenting bleeding-heart liberalism. Right?Republican? No, because he is part of the media and republicans are never associated with the media unless that particuliar media-outlet is used for their personal, fascist ideology (and pent up frustration).
No, he's probably a Democrat, because a) he's a journalist, and b) liberals don't usually want to get their hands dirty actually helping other people, they would rather stand on the sidelines and make a lot of noise about how people need help, but want other people (like, oh I don't know, taxpayers) to pony up and represent. If they're celebrities they'll contribute help if there's a photo op involved though.
