Oh, no! You're wrong! The news is comprised of over zealous sensationalists who will do anything for a story! No way! :rolleyes:
I guess a picture isn't worth a thousand words, then. It's only worth twenty-one, apparently.

Anyone else think the pic looks like a still from a zombie flick?
It looks like she's trying to batter her way into the car to eat his brains. She certainly has that hungry, desperate look.
zombies or tabloid journalists?

Now now. be fair.
First of all I feel the make-up of of zombies is more tastefully applied.
Second, the zombies looks hungry and braindead. The reporter also appear slightly braindead, but look at the despiration!

Don't flatter yourself. I was complaining about the corporate media around here before your had your first country.
Two sets of primates looking through the bars at each other making faces. The question is who's more intelligent. The ones waited on hand and foot, or the ones who paid to be there.

The irony of this picture is of course that her cameraman would be taking exactly the same shot of a fellow desperate media-tabloid whore pressing itself against the window on the policeman's side, along with it's cameraman (who took the above photo).

He may not be the killer, but he has a pretty sick track record with kids.
But I agree with your point on the media.

And here we have the Rita Cosbyus. In nature it always has that desperate look hoping other animals take pity on it....needless to say it is an endangered species.

Well the press does have a pack mentality. Wild dogs? Or perhaps a group of scavengers?
