My uncle gave a great response to the media when he had a camera and a microphone jammed infront of him during a moment of stress. His response was "Get the hell off my property!" it was live news so they couldn't edit it out. Everyone should respond in similar fashion to microphones jammed in their faces. It is obscene for the media to seek out suffering people to broadcast.
Good response. The media would like us all to believe that they have a right to people's opinions or "feelings," that the "public has a right to know," but they don't. People should start responding to the media like your uncle did.
They are a bunch of ghouls, one step, a small one, above those "Anti Queer" protesters that will probably show up at these guy's funerals.
