Isolation
30 Answers
The news, when it's finished beating us over the head with the message to stay at home and save lives, seem to think it's okay for their on-screen drones along with crew to trek to isolated beauty spots and show us how deserted they are.
Surely they immediately become the problem in their overwhelming need to show what an empty country road looks like.
Great play is made of six foot microphone poles keeping both parties at the prescribed distance but there's really no need for the journalist and crew to be there in the first place with their big city germs and all.
Maybe a period of furlough until something worth reporting on develops is in order.

It's the same sort of situation as, say, when there is a famine in some foreign land and reporters are out there, eating the food, just to send us some pictures. The problem is if they didn't do that we wouldn't know there was a famine or how bad things were, so we wouldn't know they needed help. We need pictorial evidence of these sorts of situations, otherwise we don't believe it's really happening or how bad it is.
I also can't see the problem unless it's happening all the time, which would be silly. And I haven't seen any reports showing empty country roads, and I've watched the news a fair bit, so this sounds like a one off. I am happy to be proved wrong.
I'll be glad when we don't get old sporting events relayed as live any more who.

Maybe it's more a BBC Reporting Scotland thing, ichkeria.
Last nights item was about the Northwest 500, some of the most remote and scenic roads in the country.
No irony was detected in the piece where they filmed signs erected by locals telling tourists and sundry gawpers to go home emphasising that supplies and services in remote areas cannot cope with the extra strain brought to bear by circumstances.
