The woman was short so the water was shoulder high at least for her.

I always wonder when it comes to 24 hour news. How much is actually staged, i mean they have 24 hours to fill with news.

I agree. There's about ten minutes of information per hour (at best), and the rest is opinion and "talking heads." I truly think it's partly the bane of our existence (except, we love it).

Yes they do (that is love it), to me it is like eating fast food.

It is not good for you but it is cheep and does not take any time to prepare and cook. The easy way to get your hunger satisfied, so just plop down in front of a 24 hour news machine and get your fill and just believe what you are told. Its so convenient they have a 24 hour news cycle especially prepared for your beliefs.

I've done it. Years ago, when I first came upon it (I didn't have TV for a number of years), and I was smitten. I just watched news, and I felt so informed. lol

IMO, people were better informed before the advent of 24 hour cable news.

How do you mean? It was not so much opinion?

I know what you mean. What was the beginning for me where i just began to say this is just to much. was the Natalee Holloway onslaught of news.

That....and content designed for ratings over news reporting.

 

[wing2000]

....and people still read complete articles in newspapers.

I would say, at least they were not exposed to fabricated/created news situations that was just used to fill up time.

That's a good example. How much about that situation do I really need to know? At what point do I become a kind of voyeur, just gawking at the misfortunes and misdeeds of others. It feels gross thinking about it.

That’s right. The fabricated stories weren’t just there to sell ads. They were there to sell a particular set of propaganda. Yellow journalism predates 24-hour news by quite a bit.

I think you have to help in a situation like that, if youre capable.

I think it's human nature to help others in distress, kudos to the weatherman. On reporting:

Yeah there has been a lot of deceit in a way with weather reporting. But this one (in the OP) is legit. The reporter thought he went off the air and did not know that the camera man started recording him helping that girl. If she could not swim. She was in pretty deep if there was any current.
