Normally I'd agree...but how do you report on such mass destruction of life
without emotion? Emotion and good journalism aren't necessarily mutually
exclusive...or so I believe. In fact, I thought Peter Jennings was pretty
oddly detached given that people were jumping 80 stories to their deaths
rather than being burned alive.
