CNN using "Gun Fire Rat-tat-tat Music to show War Carnage Montage...

[KoKo]

Has anyone else noticed this? I first saw it on Monday...(I don't watch a lot of CNN) but I just caught it and it's really offensive. Sort of like Vido Game with this music that's something 14 year old boys would really like.

This was after a segment pressuring John Roberts about how fast the US can get Embedded Reporters in with the Israeli Army because as Kyra Phillips said: "It was a help in telling our side of the story in Iraq."

John Roberts said they were doing everything possible but Israli Generals weren't budging. He also said to her that there had been some criticism of whether soldiers were Embedded or "Inbed" during Iraq Invasions which had caused some criticism of the reporting.

1. even worse is

when they drop a psuedo hip-hop beat behind a photo slideshow of war, as if this is some kind of cool docu-drama. My friends and I saw a blatant one the other night (might have been the one you are talking about) and all were repulsed. The hip/cool posture of news reporting doesn't belong any where near this war.

3. The whole rat-a-tat-tat and drum beat is disgusting!

It's been going on for several days there now. It goes along with their "Breaking News" and "Developing Story"....It's all just fun and games to CNN!
