Pardon the vent, but following CNN's coverage of this shooting in Atlanta has been an exercise in frustration.
I realize the story is "breaking" but they keep interrupting sources and affiliate reporters just as they are starting to tell us actual news. I really don't think the anchorwoman in this case is listening to anything anyone is saying.
A low point is when a tow truck driver who had been carjacked gave a pretty detailed description of what had happened to him and the anchor responsds with a lighthearted "So, not a typical day at the office eh?"
Just another reminder that with TV it's pictues first, brains 2nd.
