I think there's a movie out there ...Kim,<BR/> I'm back. I think there's a movie out there called "Bruce Almighty". It's about a guy that inherits god like powers and one of the things he does is use them to advance his media career, but he soon runs into problems.<BR/><BR/>Lori,<BR/><BR/>I don't know why they send these reporters into harms way. Since the Gulf War, it seems that these networks are doing it more and more. It's common now to hear of a reporter getting injured or worse, killed. The term they use now is "embedded".<BR/><BR/>Beckie,<BR/>I'm sure a lot of it is real, but surely some drama is added. I wouldn't want to be married to one of these adrenalin junkies.<BR/><BR/>Asher,<BR/>It ticks me off too, but I'm not about to try and talk sense into idiots. You should patent your idea of the shatter proof glass bocks. <BR/><BR/>Cheers all.<BR/>BBStronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795381642029132764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14084675.post-1130373535684138302005-10-26T19:38:00.000-05:002005-10-26T19:38:00.000-05:00It is honest.

The reporters are pretty much willing to risk their own lives (and that of their crew) to get the most dangerous shots and gain the most media attention.<BR/><BR/>But why?<BR/><BR/>If you want shots, put a camera in a protected, bullet-proof, shatterproof glass box, and leave it running. You can transmit the pictures without risking someone's life.<BR/><BR/>With all the people who honestly get caught in a hurricane and risk their lives, it pisses me off when non-rescue orientated people or scientists go running into one like idiots.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435473760294052609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14084675.post-1130253078597697622005-10-25T10:11:00.000-05:002005-10-25T10:11:00.000-05:00I've wondered about this phenomena myself?!!

We all know what it looks like when hurricane force winds are blowing. Do we have to see it a gazillion times? We certainly are a nation of rubberneckers but hey, don't show the same indistinguishable scene over & over again! (Sorry for babbling.

One of the characters was always trying to fix things so that he looked like an incredible reporter, while doing very little. For example, he would slap a kid so that it started crying, then get the camera rolling and talk about the loss and trauma suffered by the poor children. I couldn't hep but wonder how much of that kind of thing went on in real life.Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.com
