NBC has been flagged after they did an interview with in a limpet
Olympics here by the name a body Miller now body Miller's a brother passed away
three years ago
and Kristen Cooper wanted to ask about it but she asked him about it so much
that he started crying I'm so
after that happened someone from the Associated Press commented on it and
said it was tone deaf in cruel and so
n short-circuited the thoughtful intelligent perspectives Miller had
started to offer until he couldn't talk anymore
clearly she asked him kept asking and he just couldn't handle it anymore was a
really difficult thing from to discuss
are and also %uh the New York Times said the cooper et NBC lacked the sensitivity
to know when enough was enough yeah
this party why I hate Olympics and I'll watch it I everybody's grandmother died
and there if there was no grandmother it was her dog
but however close they are to the person unfortunately the media views it as
better so body Miller
obviously really broken up about his family member dying
it's the death of his brother was routed recent so wow it's really close I'm okay
let's get myspace
and let's just keep asking questions until we have promotional touching
moment its tragedy poor its tragedy porn but I don't think that it's unique to
Olympic coverage I think that it's something that you see throughout the
press
especially mainstream press you wanna have the emotional element to the story
because people
are addicted to it that's what keeps them watching
so with anything i mean that's why a lot of news stories get sensationalized
because
straight news reporting is boring oftentimes like what do you do you
interview venues they all call you know you won the bronze medal that's really
exciting how do you feel
and look to be completely honest with you I would be bored with that interview
right
but at the same time I don't think that it's right for reporters to try to
sensationalize things or to exploit
a really dark part of someone's life unless that person willingly want to
talk about it you know who's a great
sports reporters Jim Gray I don't know if you guys remember the interviews he
would do after
sporting events especially in boxing I mean he would get right up in my case is
faced as my case was about the losers Bergen mime
8 asking really tough questions that's great reported raid
but it wasn't like hey did your puppy died last week in you know
anyways and then in a beginner interesting response as by the way are
nature's it with Richard Sherman you shouldn't jump to the guys throw
obviously everybody's heart goes out the body Miller in this case neutron
protected right
but no one part I disagree with you on is your its definitely more in the
Olympics
so will you hear a story from time to time by some
football player in the tragedy that he suffered more often than not
with football players et cetera and baseball players is a crazy stuff they
did you know what kinda
drugs today abuse there are always those that the other bank
okay are are they gay or are they not gay are they I don't whatever right
but it's not like oh my god his aunt died a year ago
it happens a lot but I don't need that for the game to be interesting I wanna
see who wins
Seattle or or dead were I know having to worry about a man is dead
right now but the Olympics aren't that interesting people they like no we
normally does he know many
here out a little bit moulin watches skiing
right so they're going to let oh my god what have you brought yet but probably
true look I don't know I don't
I don't pay attention to the Olympics enough to make that comparison
but one thing that I will say is when it comes to all sports when it comes to
athletes except for the exception up
but maybe baseball because I feel like people don't really know the baseball
players are separate from the big-name
but you know details about everyone's life you know your
all up in their business when it comes to their marriage
there do more so kinda house are they living at 10 but they don't be a tragedy
poor Lexie of my diaper Marty has like
you know seven kids from a women work with me
the BK but that's not like oh my god
Cromartie how did you feel about your seven kids from twelve women
after the I
reducing story and these guys are celebrities at this point right
but it's not because you need that to me football more interesting
couple things our first a body no I brought it up
he brought his brother's death for so I get the reporter gonna pass
but check your right because the Olympics is all about you know the human
spirit
no overcoming long odds you train your entire life for this one shining moment
so yesterday Gadhafi focus a lot more on the human interest
affect David weathers adapters a major obstacle to overcome
much more so than the traditional sports the sea on a regular basis that parts
true
with figure skaters were at told about
so the question is an NBC and ass pony military were
outrage here so the reaction
Cradock I
oh I i'm glad I got cases that knocked him off his feet
okay thanks a lot he said why don't you
to sample okay lineup
