Think before You Speak on TV
As I was getting ready for work this morning, Amy had the local news on TV. A newscaster was doing a live report from a local 9/11 observance ceremony.
In the middle of the broadcast, he said, "They are now observing a moment of silence ... Let's listen in."
Just what did this journalistic genius expect, other than the, approximately, minute of airtime with the camera focused on a group of unmoving, silent people?
