Say It Ain't So
I was watching the CHCH news this morning and Annette Hamm started a story with, "A man was found shot in an SUV that was left running...."
Have we gotten that blase about murder that they must add something that they think the public will react to.
Them: A man was found shot in an SUV.
Us: Yeah, whatever. Pass me the waffles.
OR
Them: A man was found shot in an SUV that was left running.
Us: Oh my god! Please tell me that they found it before it wasted too much gas. Oh, the poor SUV. Oh, and I never even thought of the people in the area that had to wake to all that polution. Oh, and what about the birds and other animals in the neighbourhood. Oh, what a shame!
Come to think of it, maybe we are that blase.

Maybe they were suggesting that he was shot dead because he drives an SUV ( imagine driving an SUV ) or maybe they were suggesting it was because he had the SUV running ( it is part of the new measures of the city's bylaw enforcement of the anti-idling bylaw, Take a Hit ) or maybe they were just showing us why CanwestGlobal ( the owners of CH ) is going bankrupt in more than just monetary ways. Hmm, food for thought.
I guess any of those reasons would be good enough really...
My husband used to work for CH as a broadcast engineer for 20 years. He got out just before the Canwest takeover. He was one of the lucky ones who saw the writing on the wall.
Thanks for stopping by.
