Posted by cortelyounext on Tue Jul 29 11:20:46 2025, in response to Shooting at NYC office building. NYPD officer among dead, posted by LuchAAA on Mon Jul 28 22:10:21 2025. First off, may the souls of the innocents rest in eternal peace.Last evening, as I was listening to and watching the news coverage, primarily CBS News and 1010 WINS, I was struck by the utter incompetence of some of the on-scene reporters as well as the studio anchors. I have rarely if ever known this to be the case to such a degree in similar incidents. I certainly understand the adrenaline is flowing during "Breaking News" but as professionals where was the professionalism? These reporters and anchors were lost trying to speak coherently and extemporaneously while at times contradicting themselves and others while throwing out impertinent information. Some of the questioning of witnesses was scattershot at best, bewildering and insensitive at worst. One anchor for CBS New York, who is typically composed, actually laughed a couple times while discussing the shooter being caught by surveillance cameras walking across the plaza in broad daylight holding a rifle - I understand "nervous laughter" from a couple witnesses as they were answering inane questions. This may be the cynical cortelyounext but the whole thing seemed almost as if the journalists were acutely aware that they were in the spotlight. |
