Of all the shots that could have been used in this package that showed up on Good Morning America yesterday, they choose this one? Real nice.
Anyone else notice what is in the picture above?
If you missed it the first time, I highlighted it. This still is from a video that was on the news yesterday morning. I am sure there were thousands of other shots they could have edited into this package, but they chose this one? Why?
Sensationalism. Pure and simple.
I don’t know if the skull is real or not. It probably isn’t. It could be a Halloween decoration. But, what if it isn’t? Maybe more to the point, what if there are actually people killed in these wildfires? How does that make a family who lost a loved one feel if they see something like this?
“Keeping it classy” is something the media has totally lost.
We can hope and wish they would do better, but until people stop watching it won’t change.
You can do better ABC, Good Morning America, and reporters.
