Wow, was this really a real news broadcast? This was extremely confusing and both reporters, if you would even call the woman a reporter, because she was just repeating what Abrams was saying, didn't seem to know what was going on. It was comical how they would go from calling the "riot" in Haiti a "protest," to a "celebration," to "something." It was weird when they showed a picture of Don's birth and death date after the gunshots were heard. It was almost as if the news station made stuff up beforehand just in case nothing "exciting" happened. This really wasn't news at all, well maybe it was, it just wasn't presented as news. It was confusing and it was so obvious neither reporters knew what was going on, especially the woman because of her confused looks. Overall, it was terrible and confusing.

After watching the reflection and turn out of that news clip I was so confused I didn't know what to think. I did think about how ever the case in which the reporter could not give an overall direct statement of the happenings in hatti but gave the news reporter on the air something to run with, If you listen closely they pick up lines and jump back and forth to allow the over all assumption of the target audience to get a general shocking apperance. Though if you watch the whole thing you still would not be able to get the where and who? Though that broadcast I am not sure you could get even that much. They went from quote, " having an election, to a soccer victory, to having a picnik." That is not valid information if you ask me. Though the reporter at the actual event was stating what he thought the reporter at the station made the image so much bigger, though false. So what line would you tell your friend if you were giving at least six different statements about hatti in 2 mins?
