I was watching news coverage on BBC News 24 about recently killed Hamas leader. It was studio/location interview where presenter asked the location reporter that 'what do you think of reprisal attacks from hamas?' and to that reporter replied 'They are biding their time and waiting for the right moment to stage a 'SPECTACULAR' attack'.
When I heard this word 'spectacular' I was amazed and then worried. Because, since when can any kind of attack 'Pre-emptive or Retaliatory' be described glamorously as 'spectacular'? All kind of attacks weather legitimate or illegitimate are serious and can only be called 'ATROCIOUS'.
As a media student I find this very disturbing, because any responsible broadcaster has a duty to use appropriate terms/words to describe any event. Otherwise, violence will be classed as a thrill seeking sport.
Also any kinds of violence acts are immoral and not a single religion on earth endorses it.
