However, the fact that there was joking around and laughing about anything while reporting this, is not a whole lot better.
look, I am not looking to get into a pissing contest with the people on here that I agree with 90% + of the time
but I will say this and shut up about it...
it's like everything else in life - when you do something for a living, you start to become immune to the "noise"
I commented on this topic on another forum (my SEC football forum that has a poli board - not as biased as dem underground, but certainly a "safe space" for conservative minded members)
it really looked like she did not realize that the segment had started and that she was listening to someone else as that segment started
this is not something to get outraged about, not any more than I would get outraged at a cop who does not get queasy when seeing a dead body
there are so many stories about hateful people doing hateful things, I can see how a talking head could treat even such a heinous story as "noise" - it would be pretty damned difficult to live in constant turmoil and outrage
in watching that clip, it seems obvious that she was concentrating on something else before this story started, hell, maybe her boyfriend was asking her if she wore the black panties like he told her to...
anywho - there is so much that the media does that deserves our scorn and outrage - this incident is not one of those times
