News Anchor Wrecks and Sinks

During the channel 13 ABC, Houston, Texas four o'clock news on Wednesday, October 22nd, I was appalled when I heard Ilona Carson laughing and making fun of students that are in the hospital. I had to rewind the newscast to make sure I heard her correctly.

This is what she said:

"This story isn't supposed to be funny, but I still find it hilarious.

A couple of students remain hospitalized after they were bitten by a venomous snake in class..." (laughs)

"Those students will have to stay in the hospital several more days." (more laughs)

I do not think anything about that story is funny. Surely, the students that are in the hospital, their parents that are distraught over the children's pain, and the other parties involved do not think this is funny.

Ms. Carson has a sick idea of HILARIOUS. Her impromptu commentary about this horrible incident is unacceptable. I can only hope that channel 13 will recognize that this behavior is inappropriate.
