I have taken a shot at the news many times, complaining about the shit actually qualifying as news, but now i take a shot at the fact at how they manage to add the totally unneccassary and get away with it. It’s happens almost everyday. Have you ever noticed, that when they do a report about someone getting into trouble, or getting attacked, they show a zoomed in photo of the persons face (which takes up most of the screen) and then they BLUR the photo. Great, we are seeing a blur for news, for 5 seconds a day. I want my five seconds back!!!.
This whole thing caught my attention when the news said this: Malcolm Turnbul has said that Tony Abotts claim that cut emissions at a low cost was: bullshit. The word bullshit however was bleeped out, but the quote was on the screen in text, however and then BULLSHIT in quotations, filled the screen. What was the point of that?! What you spared the two year olds who cant yet read, but were for some reason watching the news? Thanks. I’m sure they appreciated that.
But, it could have been deliberate. For people who work at listen to the news, I bet they were like ‘OOHH he said what?’ They focus on the news and read the word bullshit, realizing nothing important was done…
