Allsyn Camerota always has people in their rawest moments of grief and

does end the interview early enough for them to cry. This the third time this week I have seen her do this n CNN. It is so intrusive. Anything for an interview.

1. It is a fine line... But, Americans who think this can't hit them need to see some realism, I guess

4. I understand that and I agree but the interviewer needs to know at some

point to maintain the dignity of the person they are interviewing. She got the story of the young ladies death due to the virus, but she allowed the mother, who was extremely upset to just completely meltdown. She has done this several times this week and it is wrong. And to top it off Allysn shows no real emotion for what she is allowing on the screen. On to the next story.

5. I haven't watched, but I agree with your concerns.

2. Don Henley sang it best...

We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation
Is the head dead yet
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry

3. I have always said to my husband that

people should not agree to be interviewed for TV when they are grieving or after a tragedy. This applies to all situations. At least, heaven forbid, I would never agree.

6. Newspaper story............

My son was serving as a journalism intern with a regional newspaper. He got a call one morning that a small plane had gone down, killing 2 aboard. He was sent to cover the story.

I was excited for him - this would really be a "boots-on-the-ground" opportunity. Up to this point he had been covering county fairs, town council meetings, and following the "local police reports" - this was a big deal.

When he finally got home about 10 hours later I asked how it all went - what an exciting opportunity to be in on a "real news event."

His answer: "Dad, I hated it. The people I had to interview had just lost 2 friends and I was expected to have them give me some information to help fill a newspaper story. It was terrible - I don't ever want to do that again."

He finished the summer internship and switched majors.

7. The very worst assignments i ever had we're interviewing the parents of a murdered child

I was just the photographer. Five minutes could just wear you out, but it was a newspaper, not live and they wanted to get their stories told.

8. Friend of mine, at the beginning of his career as a journalist,

was sent to talk to the family of someone who had just been murdered. The paper had received a tip off from someone with the police.

When he arrived at the family's house he noticed a police car parked down the block and wondered if there was a connection.

Turns out the cops knew a reporter was coming and decided to wait so that HE would be the one to break the news to the family.

Decades later he said it was just about the worst day of his life.
