The other night on the local news there as a story about a recent fatal stabbing, so recent, that the ambulance was still there. After giving the known details, the reporter called someone over, someone who had just arrived home to the apartment complex and, unlike those of us watching on television, with no knowledge of what was going on, this person suddenly found herself facing cameras while being asked her feelings on something she was just about to learn about.
My pet peeve is the reporter shoving a microphone at someone, and they are expected to be deep or knowledgeable about the events that might have jut happened
Its like an ambush.
