TV news makes everything into a movie like ad. I'm surprised they don't have that deep voiced guy who does the voice overs for Hollywood films. That vibe from the news,,,all of them, is what I think could have lead to desensitizing events, if they are by the masses. No more Walter Cronkite. It's that vibe that has probably taken over, and reduced ALL events to a "Showtime".

When I want just the news, I turn on the Philly all news station on AM radio, with no hype, no titles, no cute or pretty reporter who can't wait to interview the suffering and ask, "How do you feel"?

It's a marketing world. With money of course behind everything.

I think of the parents and other family members, for any loss I hear about, anywhere. Maybe with all the killings that do go on everyday, we all might except that, (at different levels of course), as a daily fact of life.

How long has it been going on? Killings of people through history? Yeah,,,that TOO long. Some brains are just not wired to handle life in a peaceful way, so they take it. And the news runs with whatever they can to get their advertising dollars to soar. And then to keep it going. So they hammer home the images. We who watch, over and over are to blame for giving them rating reasons to continue. Same with Tabloids.
