At about 1:15 today, there was a reporter talking about Senator Kennedy's condition. While she was speaking, a photo shot was running of Senator Kennedy at the compound in Hyannis, sitting on the porch with a family member. In order to get this shot, a helicopter was dispatched off the shoreline in Hyannis and was hovering over the porch at the private residence of the Senator.
Imagine having a helicopter hovering over your head; the noise; the way the propeller creates a sort of vacuum in your ears and stirs up sand and dirt.
Now imagine you've been through some hospital procedures, may have a headache from treatments; may be struggling with news no one wants to face and having this done to you.
To me this is cruel, and I don't, as a viewer, appreciate the "efforts" of the media to "bring" me this story.
In fact I am outraged that Senator Kennedy's space is being violated. Somehow the media feel free to violate the Kennedy's boundaries, and over the years it has been extremely tasteless; this takes the cake.
Join me beneath the fold!
