Then why do you do it?
Do you think we need to hear people to speak about their recently dead loved ones?
You have your perspective. I have mine. If that's no concern of yours, so be it.
And if you're going to try and tell someone that the news media is not in the business of making money and that the coverage of "big news" doesn't bring in more money then you might want to find someone else.
Yes, 9/11 affected us all and perhaps that was a bad analogy (which I tried to make up for with my latter comment), but in most "breaking news" situations, where what is being covered does not directly affect the dissemination of news, it is "opportunity" for news coverage.
I'm sorry that they make you interview people in mourning. But, just remind yourself, when you're talking to me about it, that you're not doing it for me.
