FOX News broadcasts suicide live
Yep. I just saw it by accident (was changing channels and landed there just in time to see the end). If you missed it a man was apparently in a high speed chase running from police (you just have to broadcast that, right?), and he bailed from his car ran a ways then pulled a gun and shot himself in the head on live national TV. Score another point for our voyeuristic society and the anything for ratings mentality on the news.
Another reason I dropped cable television years ago...
ReplyDeleteI've long thought that reality TV was essentially the modern colleseum.
ReplyDeleteReinforcing why we haven't had cable tv for almost 3 years and why I don't watch the news in any other form.
