Shame On You

Let's take a minute to commend FoxNews for their shameless exploitation of the heartache that Caylee Anthony's family is going through at the moment. Tomorrow is the missing toddler's birthday and today, divers are searching a lake near the toddler's home in an attempt to find anything leading to the return of Caylee.

I understand that the people at FOX have a job to do, but the blatant desperation for a story and absolute disrespect for the grieving family is disgusting. Particularly that of reporter Orlando Salinas, who harrassed Gregory Anthony on his property, even after repeatedly asking to be left alone. I know it isn't a reporters job to be consoling, but FoxNews almost seemed boastful, as if they uncovered some great story about Mr. Anthony's uncontrolable rage. As though he had no right to be upset, annoyed, furious, and defensive. Now, I'm sure that FoxNews is not the only network staked out in front of the Anthony residence. But the way they flipped the story, making the distraught grandfather seem out of control and disrespectful was completely uncalled for.

I've been searching for this clip online and have yet to come across it, but hopefully FOX will post it soon so I can add a direct link. I can't imagine what's taking so long for them to upload this example of their fine journalism. Perhaps the old fogies over at FOXervative can't remember how to upload, or maybe they realized how unsympathetic this makes them appear...

... my guess is the former.
