I was watching the nooz and the episode of Bode Miller was aired.  Christin Cooper repeatedly asked him about his dead brother until he began to cry.  She didn’t just ask him once and let it go…but kept bringing it up until she got what she wanted–him breaking down in tears in what should have been  a private moment.  For shame.

Bode was interviewed later and was defending this callous behavior, saying it was her job to push and get the reaction.  Bullshit.  Reporters need to push when a leader or public figure is hiding the truth—not athletes who lost a brother to seizures.  That’s just cold and unnecessary.  As a viewer, I don’t want to see someone in distress by being badgered by a reporter.  That’s not journalism, but sensationalism.
