Did anyone see Jennifer Griffin reporting from a tribute in Thailand today? It was one of the most human moments I have seen from a live reporter. She is a great reporter and has pretty much been everywhere and seen all kinds of tragedies. But today she broke down while doing a report at midnight from a gathering for the victims. The enormity of it all finally got past her professionalism and she broke down, but still got through the report. Bless her heart. It was heartbreaking to see.
Poor thing.
She's always been my favorite at Fox News.
I'm glad to see a reporter who still has his/her feelings, instead of being numbed off into chasing stardom and an anchor spot.
Wish I could've seen it but our tv has been on bowl games all day. Oh well, after tomorrow, most of the football will be over.
I did see that and it was so refreshing to see a reporter show emotion in all this, while maintaining her professionalism. I think of her as the female Steve Harrigan, always in the toughest places and circumstances. Just like NYC after 9/11, the absolute hardest part to watch are survivors posting pictures of the missing in the vain hope that they will be found.
I looked at her career history. Her rise to the top was insanely fast.
And that was with her starting out in newspaper. It took her less than 10 years to make it to such a big org as FNC. That is incredible.
True. Many are taught not to show emotion in times of crisis also, however. It is nice to see it when they do break down though.
When I was there the tourists flew in and out on sea planes...many stayed for a few days on different islands in little bungalows over the water...very isolated and pristine islands.
It is going to catastrophic loss.
I think she was also the reporter that got choked up while reporting from a bomb scene at a restaurant in Israel. She has seen it all...and then some. Bless her heart.
Just checked--its NBC. Jennifereccelston.com. Pictures...
"It was heartbreaking to see."
I thought it was fake and stupid and turned the channel.
Amy Kellogg is a terrorist apologist. Maybe she had to be that way to survive as a reporter in the West Bank, but I have no respect for her.
So much death this year...
A "TERRORIST APOLOGIST?"
After years of looking at dead bodies and bodies parts on reports, jihad websites, etc; I find her reporting fresh and insightful.
You sir, I respectfully submit; are totally full of B.S.
Well that's your choice. I thought it was spontaneous and heart felt. Unless you are there and have seen first hand what she has seen how can you say what she has in her heart or wheter she was "faking it"? Go back in your cave dude.
Agreed. She goes from covering homicide bombers in Israel to this tsunami horror in Asia. God bless her, for sure.
Make that "whether". ;-)
She has reported that she has vacationed in the area with her family in the past. Most likely, she is taking this personal if she formed any relationships with the locals.
Upon Arafat's death, that sniveling little moonbat was offering her heartfelt condolences to the Pali spokepeople she was interviewing. It was obvious who was truly the one in mourning. Hanan Ashwari surely gets a good belly laugh over airhead Amy's reports.
