Unthinking News Correspondent In Mexico

[carolegif]

I think it was on Newsnight last night, their correspondent kept on talking when he clearly stated that the rescuers hands had gone up to indicate silence so they could hear people trapped. He completely ignored the silence and kept on talking for a good five minutes! How rude! He even mentioned that he was supposed to keep quiet, but just kept on rabbiting!

i thought that as well, perhaps he didn't realise at first what they were doing, but after minutes he should have shut up.

He knew what they were doing because he told us! Still didn't shut him up!

The whole of Mexico city wasn't on quiet down.

He was well away from those with their clenched fists in the air and was also speaking in hushed tones.

Modern sound reproduction is such that we can clearly hear what the journalist is saying, but his voice was more than likely inaudible to the rescuers.
