So here I am, watching Hurricane Wilma coverage… CNN had an ad up, so I went over to FOX and watched the idiot anchor being “blown around”... I use quotes, because when a vehicle pulled up behind them, and somebody went over to it, they were walking quite normally…
So after a bit, I got tired of that, so I switched over to CNN - which initially looked better as they weren’t showing any reporters, but rather six shots of cameras placed at various places…
But, unfortunately, they went to an anchor in Key West who was being blown around in the middle of a street… Two kids/teens/youngadults across the street, where it was dark but bright enough to make them out, came calmly walking up the street… When they were around the middle of the camera frame, just past the reporter, one of them started “being blown around by the wind” – again, quotes, because for a couple of seconds, the other one just stood there before joining in. It was obvious they were faking it.
I suspect they were a romantic pair, as although I couldn’t see well enough to see which was which, they were obviously hugging/kissing, leaned up against the wall.
And here again, Mr. Being Blown Around (because of those loose windbreakers) just interviewed a firefighter who was walking quite normally….
Buncha morons…
I have extremely little remaining respect for the television/cable media…
