the death of journalism 1.5

The news reports from the earthquake in south asia make me sick. Are all journalists imbecils, smart asses or entertainers nowadays? Why do they only aspire to kill time and produce emoporn? They base everything on fear, sadness, anger, desperation or who to blame. They repeat the same stupid questions over and over again: How do you feel? What do you see? How do you feel? How's the mood? How do you feel? What do people say? Can you describe the mood?
How the fuck do they think people feel when they've been throwned around by a big fuckin' tsunami and lost their loved ones? Tap dancin' happy? They walk over corpses and stick their cameras and microphones in the face of people who are in an obvious state of shock and use their defencelessness. Just to get some good dramatic photage of tears and despair. They call in every quasi scientist in the country and gather them in their studio sofas, show them pictures of crying children and then ask them clever questions like "How do children react to death?" Then they accuse the travel agencies and the Swedish government for not being prepared for this kind of giant catastrophe. More clever questions like:
Journalist: "Why can't you say how many dead there are?"
Gov. rep.: "We don't know that yet."
Journalist: "But why?"
Gov. rep.: "As I said, we don't know yet. No one does."
Journalist: "But why?"
Journalist: "Why haven't you sent the airforce Herkules planes?"
Gov. rep.: "Well they'll have to land at least four times to refuel. So it's not such a good idea."
Journalist: "But why?"
Gov. rep.: "As I said, they'll have to land and refuel at least four times."
Journalist: "But why?"
Journalist: "Why were all your guides so young?"
Journalist: "Why weren't they prepared?"
Journalist: "Why don't we have rescue planes constantly circulating the earth ready for gigantic catastrophies like meteor strikes, tsunamis, earth quakes, a new ice age or a visit by Godzilla?"
They pretend to actually care. But they just want to look smart on TV. Why didn't smart journalists like them point these problems out before the catastrophy? Why two days later if the problems were so obvious?
Todays "journalism" suck. I don't even think it's right to call it journalism, it's some kind of post-journalism, infotainment freak shows presented by Ricki Lake or Barbie & Ken clones. I don't want my news transformed into that. I want relevant information, nothing else. Just the facts, Jack.
