What a horrible thing for the families to go through, isn't it?
Good for Hemmer.
PS What's up with the new makeup artist? Brit Hume is an attractive man, and his makeup was very badly done in last night's Special Report.
I give the media no slack- yet think of this. Reporters standing in front of the church..hearing the church bells ringing and watching families come out shouting with joy.."They're alive". Reporters know the families are briefed first- it would be weird if they DIDN'T report what they were SEEING.
What's pretty hard to grasp- is how this error could have been perpetrated for 3 hours. At SOME point- didn't it occur to someone- reporter- to get this info confirmed?
I applaud Hemmer simply because he took responsibility- and actually said he was ashamed. It was clearly a reflective moment- he was thinking out loud-if you will- saying how awful he felt being a part of leading the families on.
