Not really random is it
The apology was pretty poor.
For one, the Presenter seems to assume the blame for it more than anything. The reality is that it's the Producer/Director in the Gallery who is determining what the audience currently see and so it would be his/her decision what is broadcast and nobody else.
Of course mistakes happen on live tv and that was an unexpected outcome, so they can probably be somewhat forgiven, though I don't believe car chases with criminals in the US tend to end quite as restrained as ones with our Police, some of the time.
The Presenters whole "Not on my watch" thing was just silly, again because as I said above, what is shown is nothing to do with him.

What do you mean nightfly?
It's in the bbc link - someone called Christine Chubbock went mental, scripted her own suicide and it live on air, went and did it.
And now, for a world first, an attempted suicide live on tv!
*bang*

I can’t be the only in here who wasn’t distressed by that video?

Yes but I stand by my point. Anyone that has watched it and is traumatised by it (with the exception of people that know him and family members of the deceased) are a bit hyper-sensitive and melodramatic.

Nope, I wasn't particularly either. It's not like you can see lots of bloody and gore and the such like..

Nope, i thought it was the best action sequence of the year.

Budd Dwyer. That definitely is a disturbing video
Now I can see people being disturbed by that video (having just seen it). The Fox News one is nothing in comparison.
