The Worst Reporting Ever

Yes, even worse than Ashleigh Banfield running babbling down a New York street on September 11. It's a rural scene in a field or yard near a fence. A man and two boys are standing side by side, standing solemnly, gazing down at a piece of shuttle debris. Off-screen commentary, distracted and offhand, is provided by Fox's Anglo-Saxon guy with big scary hair.

Cue imagined thoughts from the scarcely human cameraman: Ooh, it's a helmet. Let's zoom in on the battered, charred, empty helmet. Check out those scrapes on top! Closer. See where it's burned? Hey, I can see inside! Hell, let's zoom all the way in. Closer. Now we're just inches away from the inner lining, into which are embedded short gray human hairs. Let's linger. Mmmmm baby, that's good.

The next scene: a respectfully covered human body in a quiet glade lit by the afternoon sun, hearse parked nearby with its back doors open, the area surrounded by police tape. At least the authorities got there before Fox did.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
