How does it feel to wake up and find out your entire family is dead?

That pretty much sums up the first four minutes of CBC News World Report at 8 o'clock this morning.

I think that sort of reporting is grossly invasive of the privacy of their interview subjects. These people are obviously in shock. They wouldn't be anything else. What is the "news" value of having one interviewee after another break into sobs?

This is a disgusting excuse for journalism. Grief porn.

Smarten up, CBC!

You're better than this.
