News reporters are idiots!
Right now, on my local Fox station, the police are giving an update about the college girl from Wisconsin that was kidnapped last week (she was just found today, and she's alive and safe--thank God!!!), and they're saying "We will not answer specific questions." And what do the idiot reporters ask? Specific questions. They won't stop asking those specifics either.

They're really annoying!!! :grr: :grr: :grr:

3. They're only doing the job
And usually they're getting fed through an earpiece about what questions to ask.

4. My FOX station also owns the UPN station...
Both, at the same time, had shown the same story.

As did almost every other channel...

At ~4:30.

Yes, it's great she was found alive. I heard that at 2PM, which was when it would have been appropriate to interrupt TV...

Yes, I'd hold down the bastard who hurt her just so her brother and father can kick the crap out of him.

But every damn channel at the same time?! Not to mention how much pure bullshit it is when they all say "No comment"?! Why bother doing it at all if they're just told to say "No comment"?!
