Probing emotions
The effort journalists and tv hosts make to get the people they interview to cry on camera. The emotional response gets media attention and drives ratings. emotion, crying, drama, if it bleeds it leads, media, journalism, soap opera, bating, interview
I get so sick of these tv hosts trying to get natural disaster victims to cry about the loss of their homes. It's so opportunistic and disgusting, this probing emotions crap is just wrong-this is what journalism has become.
