When the Weather Channel covers storms, they always show their poor correspondents getting pelted with rain, snow or high winds. Is this necessary? Couldn’t showing these things with a camera as they affect trees, buildings and roads be enough? Do we get some perverse pleasure in watching the suffering of others?
I am also puzzled by the appeal of their shows Highway Thru Hell and Heavy Rescue:401. How many overturned trucks, accidents and traffic jams do we need to see? It looks like Canadian government agencies support this but I can’t see how this makes Canada look appealing.
Sad!
