I find it distasteful when they stick a microphone in the face of someone who is so distraught over the death of a loved one just waiting for a soundbite.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767398015810855873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1123039053214998672005-08-02T20:17:00.000-07:002005-08-02T20:17:00.000-07:00Am I remembering this wrong or does anyone else al...Am I remembering this wrong or does anyone else also remember when they used to have those messages on the local news that would give a list of anywhere from 5 to 10 individuals who were missing in the area or surrounding areas. The ones that would give a pic, a name, age, etc...just a quick rundown. Why don't they do that anymore instead of only focusing on the one most popular nationwide??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1122985761075062292005-08-02T05:29:00.000-07:002005-08-02T05:29:00.000-07:00I like your idea.
