The Press: People with Cameras

In the Youtube clip below, the "interesting" lady that Gordon Brown called a "Bigot" is ravenously interviewed by Sky News.  It is funny and sad at the same time. The clip made me hate the people holding the cameras, who--like hungry vultures smelling a corpse--circle around her waiting for the story. It's fascinating because it shows, in a more overt way than we are used to, how the press gets its headlines. I just feel uncomfortable watching it... so now you can too. 

I feel that this lady gets victimized, not by Gordon Brown but by the media. I mean, is this better than paparazzi hunting celebrities? Or paying homeless people to fight each other to make a funny Youtube video? Or filming mentally-ill people to make fun of them? 

[sigh.] Cameras are everywhere these days.

Isn't the all pervasive power of media these days great? (Rhetorical Question)
