What a waste of time. Most events are not visual. Most events are over before the News Media start reporting. Most TV news systems insist on having "live" coverage by putting a reporter and a camera where something happened some time ago. They keep doing it for every bulletin. Hapless reporters are seen at 1030 pm stood wherever giving a live report to camera about something that happened long ago. Sometimes it is from somewhere nothing actually happened. In the UK they send TV crews to stand outside the Prime Minister's official residence to speculate on possible political events. The PM does not even live there and at weekend is far away at his country retreat yet still those poor reporters are required to stand solemnly come rain or shine and bring us the latest "news".
This is plainly expensive nonsense. Most of such reporting can be done from a studio at less cost and with less stress on the reporters. I suspect the reporters are in line with this view so why don't we get it stopped. Email your local TV station and tell them this is a nonsense. Get others to do the same and we might put an end to this crazy practice.
