Dissed jockeys.

I generally have a low opinion of the news media, with special disdain for the lazy broadcast medium. This week I find all these tv news outlets particularly despicable and cowardly following the suicide of London nurse Jacintha Saldanha.  It appears that Saldanha, after being taken in by a prank phone call by two Australian radio personalities posing as members of the royal family, was so humiliated that she killed herself. Now the pranksters are being vilified around the world and even getting death threats. That's a bit excessive since they are only morons and not monsters, but that isn't what offends me most. It's that the national news is covering the latest story as if, when it began, they weren't right out in front making the hospital and the nurse objects of ridicule for falling for such a obvious fraud. In short they are as much to blame for Saldanha's death as the disc jockeys. So their sanctimonious stance is really offensive.
