Douva 0 #1 September 2, 2005 Something that pissed me off after 9/11 and is really pissing me off right now is the way news channels, following any tragedy, edit together particularly emotional video clips with emotional music and air little music videos before every commercial break. Reality is emotional enough without turning it into a Jerry Bruckheimer/Michael Bay spectacle. National tragedies are not the venue for wannabe filmmakers at CNN and NBC to show us what they learned in film school.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GravityGirl 0 #6 September 2, 2005 I think the music and clips helps me process. It sparks a release. It's like singing the blues. The blues is more than just music. It's therapy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasingBlueSky 0 #7 September 2, 2005 The advent of this started with full time coverage of an event - The OJ chase. News consultants had already been pushing for a high gloss, polished look to the local news channels and MSNBC ran with that info. Since then everyone has followed suit._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
