Journalist on the spot
What bothers me the most in the news today is the so-calles journalists on the spot.
What news there might be, there always seems to be somebody there. Even if the event already finished and there is nothing to see anymore.
Like today, for example: a kidnapping of a bus in Greece. Nothing to see except for the Greek news-images, but yes, a foreign correspondent on the phone, telling us nothing new.
Or, the next item, a journalist standing in front of the court where several hours before was decided that Marc Dutroux lost his appeal.
The thing is, if they would actually add something to the news, it would be great.
But saying.
'Yes, dear news-reader, what you just said is right' and then repeat everything, while in the back of the speaker, there is only the empty court by night. It sucks. And I truly don't understand why even the national television keeps on doing it. It is a pure waste of my time, and it could have been used to actually add something interesting to that news, or even put another item in the end of the news.
Like today, the memorial of the battle of the Ardennes.
Well, that added something to my knowledge...
