There is nothing you can do about something like that, it just happens. But you will get the jackasses who will blast you for being "unprofessional" (human) That is one of the things I hate about the news business, no matter what you do, it is the wrong thing in someone's eyes.

As they say you can't please all the people all the time.

I wouldn't call that a "meltdown" when I heard meltdown I had visions of her screaming in a temper tantrum rage and uttering not-for-broadcast words. All she was doing was being human and she handled it tactfully,

What sickens me is that they even interviewed the man on camera about seeing his wife die. How sickening.

 

Yet, some of you on this board probably would not find anything wrong with that.

 

I could care less if the anchor cries.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

It did touch a nerve, she didn't had a meltdown. You Sir are over reacting.

As someone who has interviewed people who have just experienced tragedy, many of them DO want to talk, it is therapeutic for them. Most people want someone to talk to instead of bottling up their grief. If they don't want to do an interview even the most aggressive reporters, and I have been called an aggressive reporter, will not press the person at all. If someone tells me "no" I thank them and apologize for their loss and for disturbing them.

 

Do you think all reporters are heartless? Making the call to request that kind of interview is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. If it doesn't tear you apart inside, there is something wrong with you.
