Not smart. Not intentional but still not smart.

Bucky Badger in the HOUSE!!!

Maybe they should've used a 10 second delay? I just watched it on YouTube it wasn't too bad.

Agreed it was uncalled for, but accidents do happen on live feeds

True enough but it was a delayed feed. I think my daughter was able to run our DVR at four years old. I think they call it the STOP button.

Watching the video it looks like the anchor was the only one on the delay Sh*t happens!

I'm not sure the dead guy would agree.

His decision

His decision

I know. It just seems cruel to give him a bad review.

Sounds like the audio was put on delay and not the video. Bummer for the guy that gets to be "that guy" in the news room now. I'd be more traumatized to be the one responsible for that than anybody who witnessed it. (unfortunately, the Internets have jaded me to the shock and horror of humanity's worst)

To avoid this problem, Stick with stories that features scantily dressed women.

I watched it and you really couldn't see anything that traumatic.

If you werent expecting it there is a possibility that it would have slipped by unnoticed by some.

I can't really criticize FOX that bad for this. They know the risks, but you could hear Shep screaming at the control room to get it off.

The people posting the video on the internet -- that's the stupidity.

What did you expect? Everything hits the net.

And I would have never seen it had it not been uploaded to YouTube. I, along with most people with brains, don't watch FOX "News" Channel.

As my friend put it:

Regarding the live shooting that Fox decided to show a couple of days ago:

People are still sensitive to violence? I thought we watch this kind of stuff on TV (and games) everyday.


Of course, somebody has to comment "Go find the Buddy Dwyer Video"

...No, really, you shouldn't......

That's someone's kid. How would you like it if you were watching TV and watched your friend or a family member shoot themselves on cable news?

Now you say the stupid people are the ones who posted the video to the internet but yet you went and looked for it on the internet?????????????????????

 

[blue92]

I was watching it live and what TRL said is right. FOX News cut away pretty quickly and didn't show much of the shooting.

 

[dirtguru]

So we've been seeing alot of high speed chases on the tube lately. And each time something tragic could happen at any moment. SO if you don't want to see someone get hurt don't watch them. Personally I'd like for them not to be shown at all. Sometimes that is what these nutcakes want is that 30 mins of fame.

Wow. Actual footage of self-inflicted instant karma. Awesome.
