A rant directed against Sky News for their distasteful coverage of recent events particularly the Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster, along with the nuclear power station part-meltdown, and the Libyan bombings by coalition forces.
Get real, Sky News – Japanese earthquake and tsunami,
Nuclear power station part-meltdown/radiation leak not
Sexy, not entertaining – so cut out the pornographic
Detail of ‘gorgeous’ video footage of unfolding disaster
And doom-laden action video-game style incidental
Music before ad breaks. Cut out animated flashy graphics
Of bombing air strikes on Libya; it’s not a cartoon, not a
War comic or ’shoot-them-up’ Xbox or Playstation 3 game.
More honest, straightforward news reports, please, with facts
And real analysis, less speculation and il-informed comment.
Show some responsibility and social conscience, over the top
Rolling news with gimmicky ‘bells and whistles’ in high-
Definition – it’s all in the worst possible taste.
