(for some reason the thumbnail doesn't appear in the video... different newscaster)

What is with the accent on the newscaster starting the clip? It sounds like Jack Black/Kyle Gass doing "I believe in Gawd" at the end of the Tenacious D album.

Some people think way too much of themselves and their station.

And this newscaster did a fine job of cutting them back down to reality.

>> ^Lethin:

there is like 9 other people in that room with him, he should have gotten the intern to feed the kitten... sheesh!


They were worried about getting smacked in the face with a..."girth fluctuation".

I was on-board with this explanation until the hand-wipe..

>> ^dag:

As a man I can tell you that clothing adjustments sometimes need to be made in response to involuntary girth fluctuations. He was obviously watching the report.
And by "involuntary girth fluctuations" I mean surprise boners.

Pardon me, I have to go feed the kitten. >> ^Hybrid:

Yeah, he certainly wasn't fapping. Could have just been feeding a kitten underneath the desk.

I like it.

But it was entirely unrealistic, that newscaster didn't constantly interrupt her guests and brow-beat them with off-topic points...

Yeah, but we can start with ourselves and calling it out when it happens. That is how casual racism became impolite. People called it out.

Casual sexism is just as impolite.

That's funny that my comment led to your comment. I was thinking of the McDonald's thread when I wrote it.

Not a coincidence at all, my friend. Directly related!

The Sift is a small place. I keep forgetting that.

In reply to this comment by budzos:
Coincidentally I saw your comment in the newscast thread and it reminded me to check back into the McDonald's thread.

I agree, language shapes the world and our own perception and processing of experiences. What you say is perfectly true but you might be giving too much power to the word "bitch". Like "faggot", most fully conscious people are already trying to use it less. But it won't go away anytime soon.

Wow, the newscaster equates hypocritically protesting Wall Street by owning a Macbook... Also, I love the fact that this movement has largely been ignored but since it's not going away the media is starting to try to gloom & disinfo them out of existence.

This witty news commentary is a breath of fresh air from the US where the newscasters make everything sound so morbid.

I had just started at university, and I was in a class. The professor did a short lecture, and then let us go early, saying something like "planes are crashing into towers, it's chaos out there." I remember thinking "WTF is he talking about? Is that some reference that's going over my head?"

I wasn't feeling very well, so I went to the doctor's office on campus, and everyone was crowded around the TV in the waiting room. That's when I saw what had happened. I guess the first tower had collapsed, and I still remember how confused the newscasters were. They still weren't even sure, at that point, if the entire tower had collapsed, or if it had only partially collapsed. They were reporting a potential death toll in the tens of thousands. I couldn't believe what I was watching.

I stood with everyone else for a while, then I went back to my room, hoping to check the internet for news. All the news sites I could think of were down. So I listened to the radio.

I was involved in journalism through most of my high school career and that morning we had just received a large volume of our latest issue that the printer neglected to stuff (or insert) with one of our advertisements.

We had just begun getting into the groove of working when a teacher from across the hall came over and in a flustered voice, he stammered "HEY put your TV on!" and then scurried back to his classroom. My fellow students and I looked at each other a bit confused as my journalism adviser clicked on the set hanging from the ceiling.

I can't speak for the others there but my confusion intensified when I saw that one World Trade Center had a gaping hole in it and plumes of smoke peppered the air near the breach. "Again this is live footage we're showing you now..." the newscaster said.

There was a mosaic of "What's happening," "Did a bomb explode," "Did the newscaster say attack," and "I hope everyone is ok," that went on while we slowly and robotically continued stuffing our advertisements in our newspaper.

All that stopped when the second plane hit. The room let out a collective ghasp and we all were pushed back by some kind of invisible wave. The kid right across from me repeated "Oh my god!" two or three times to break the silence as we continued watching and listening, and feeling helpless to do anything about what we were seeing.

Look at the dumb motherfucker just keep talking through a GD earthquake. I hate when people are so focussed on their own stupid fucking voice that they don't notice anything else. Like an earthquake.

The one guy is aware of the room shaking from five seconds in. But the other numbskull is going to keep talking and TALKING for ten seconds, even though the room is shaking and his fellow newscasters are displaying obvious signs of alarm in their body language. They're even murmuring and starting to talk over him, a pretty obvious sign that something is WRONG when you're filming a TV show and maybe you should look around and stop droning into the camera. The guy's just gonna keep flapping his stupid fucking lips trying to be "professional" like anyone really gives a shit about baseball.
