Lifting shamelessly from CNN...
(CNN) -- Four people were killed Friday afternoon when helicopters from two rival TV news stations in Phoenix, Arizona, collided while shooting a police chase, according to fire and station officials.
KTVK-TV said pilot-reporter Scott Bowerbank, left, and photographer Jim Cox were aboard its helicopter.
The choppers that collided belonged to KTVK-TV and KNXV-TV, both CNN affiliates.
There something about this that disturbs me more that the accidental deaths of those aboard the helicopters. Follow me below the fold.
What is with the MSM's utter fascination with police chases? I'm not talking about CNN or MSNBC...I'm talking about local, non-cable network affiliates.
WHO, THE F%#$, CARES?!?!? WHY IS THIS NEWS?!? Aren't there more important things to report on?
Our mounting death toll in Iraq?
Our mounting debt that will be left for our grandchildren?
The growing gap between the rich and the poor?
Pat Tillman's murder?
Contempt of congress citations?
Gonzo's blatant perjury and the subsequent calls for a special prosecutor by senate democrats?
Record breaking Republican obstructionism?
Criminal Investigations into Alaska's porkers, Don Young and Ted "tubes" Stevens?
Iraq's missing electricity reports?
Beijing's suppression of China's environmental impact reports?
Epic floods in China and England?
No. We get Britney spears tearing up a photo shoot. We get Lindsay Lohan getting arrested for another DUI, plus an added bonus, the 911 tape! We get $300 haircuts (what about Romney's makeup artist, you hypocrite bastards?). And oh yes, we get police chases.
3 or more different helicopters, from different channels, covering the same, non-violent police chase.
