A lot of smiles and chuckles on the News networks this morning

Nepal was just hit with a devastating earthquake (1000s killed) and what do I see on the news networks like BBC World, CNN, MSNBC, etc is a lot of smiles, laughter, chuckles leading into the Earthquake story. Yes, once the reports of devastation start, the commentators, news readers, etc quickly become semi-serious, but once they pause between stories more laughter and smiles on small talk. And on CNN, the Bruce Jenner story gets about equal coverage as the Earthquake.

as one of the characters practices for her news audition.
