This is a very worrying trend. Consider this one from India - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtDb_vLZ0wc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtDb_vLZ0wc I find it wrong on many levels. It is a drastic oversimplification of the events of the day and in some sense, implicitly portrays the pilot's job as something the newscaster could have done better.
News media has so far been vastly deficient in how they present technical and scientific matters and stuff like this will only exaggerate that problem.
- iamdave 16y agoFor what it's worth, some newscasters present reports about certain events with a tone of voice as if they could have done it better themselves, without the aid of an animation. Sometimes it's hard to tell if newscasters are reporting the news, or chiding and scolding the individuals being reported on for human error.
